Qué cubre este vídeo

Fort de France, Martinique, serves as a primary hub for cruisers arriving from the Atlantic, offering accessible provisioning, boat parts, and a straightforward, self-service customs check-in process.0:21 During Carnival, the anchorage becomes congested, requiring sailors to monitor cruise ship arrivals, as bow thruster turbulence and varying boat orientations create hazardous conditions for nearby vessels.3:31 After the festivities, the crew relocates to St Pierre to snorkel near underwater mermaid sculptures designed to promote coral growth.9:29 While anchored in Dominica, the crew encounters poor holding and uncomfortable onshore winds in 15-meter depths, prompting a decision to relocate to Portsmouth rather than rely on local mooring balls.12:57 Technical tasks include cleaning the hull of Atlantic-crossing growth and troubleshooting a spinnaker furling line that slipped inside its drum.7:07 The crew maintains a flotilla with buddy boats QI and C-3PO while navigating toward the Panama Canal.11:20
