Qué cubre este vídeo
Sailing vessel Sea Rose picks up a mooring ball off Soufriere, St. Lucia, arriving from the south with wind dropping from 13 knots to 2.3 in the lee of the Pitons — a predictable wind shadow Karen notes is common downwind of tall Caribbean islands.4:12 Petit Piton and Gros Piton, roughly 2,000 feet tall, dominate the western coastline.2:51 Snorkeling near Ratchet Point reveals underwater volcanic bubbles rising from the seafloor.4:47 A 14-inch barracuda somehow clears the swim platform and lands in the cockpit overnight.8:49 A mooring ball bangs the hull through the night, cutting sleep short before a 6:30 a.m. departure for the Gros Piton hike — 3.1 miles out and back with 1,833 feet of elevation gain, guided by a local community member.9:17 Most of the trail is shaded.11:37 Rodney Bay, near St. Lucia's northern tip, offers marinas, restaurants, and provisioning, and serves as the ARC Rally's Atlantic crossing finish line; the ARC Plus, which stops in Cabo Verde, finishes in Grenada instead.13:29 Fort Rodney and a historic signal peak sit at the peninsula's end.13:47
