What this video covers

Javi, sailing aboard the vessel Regina, departs Port Louis in northern Guadeloupe for a 45-mile passage to Antigua.▶ 1:58 The transit features light winds of 12 to 15 knots on a reach, allowing the crew to maintain an average speed of six knots with minimal sail adjustments.▶ 7:55 During the crossing, the boat encounters significant patches of sargassum seaweed, which noticeably reduce speed.▶ 4:57 Upon arrival in Antigua, the crew anchors in Jolly Harbour, noting the residential infrastructure where private homes feature dedicated docks for yachts and catamarans.▶ 8:56 The crew also visits English Harbour, a deep-water bay historically used as a hurricane refuge.▶ 10:51 While English Harbour serves as a popular tourist destination with preserved colonial-era buildings, Javi notes that it is not a recommended location for vessels to remain during the hurricane season.▶ 11:40 The crew concludes the visit by hiking to the site rather than taking a taxi, before preparing to depart for Barbuda.▶ 12:52
