Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of a Vision 444ES catamaran prepares for a 5-to-6-day passage from Eleuthera, Bahamas, to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Before departing, the crew navigates Current Cut at slack tide, noting the importance of broadcasting a security call on the radio to alert other vessels. Maintenance tasks include tightening the standing rigging, which showed movement under load, and troubleshooting a radar status light. The crew also replaces frayed Dyneema lines used for the code sail snatch blocks.

Departing from Governor's Harbor, the vessel motors south to clear the tip of Eleuthera, avoiding a new one-kilometer cruise ship pier. The passage involves significant motoring to maintain an easterly heading against the wind, with the crew utilizing a self-tacking jib to navigate around the island's southern tip. The boat carries extra diesel in jerry cans to ensure range during the motor-heavy transit. The crew maintains a watch schedule to manage the multi-day crossing in calm Atlantic conditions.
