Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of Corail, a Beneteau Oceanis 440, anchors at Terre-de-Haut in Les Saintes at 8 meters depth over sand and burned seagrass, deploying more than 35 meters of chain in 20–25-knot winds with gusts.1:30 Nearby depths exceed 20 meters where catamarans anchor, making scope critical; the anchor set immediately in the sandy bottom.2:00 A mooring field nearby requires advance reservation.4:58 The dinghy landing on the beach is complicated by sea urchins underfoot and sargassum barriers protecting the shoreline.20:44 The village of Terre-de-Haut runs almost entirely on electric golf carts and scooters — one petrol vehicle heard the whole visit — with rentals running roughly 50–60 euros for a partial day.6:56 The crew attempts a sunset hike to a hilltop viewpoint; the skipper turns back partway up after nearly fainting, while the others complete the climb.0:04 A fort sits at the top and offers a full-island panorama. The anchorage fills quickly with day-trippers arriving by ferry from Guadeloupe; arriving early at the reef snorkeling spot avoids tourist-boat crowds.17:46 The skipper estimates three days covers the island thoroughly, one week comfortably with friends. Corail remains for sale, with no buyers found in the Caribbean.21:53 Next stop is Guadeloupe, with Rivière Sens and the leeward coast planned.
