Qué cubre este vídeo
Javi and crew cross the reef barrier outside Codrington, Barbuda, by dinghy, using a transit alignment — a large antenna centered between a tree and a smaller antenna — to locate the safe passage through the reef.1:18 The crossing takes roughly 30–40 minutes from Regina, anchored nearly three kilometers offshore.3:14 At Codrington they clear customs at a small blue building, then walk nearly two hours each way under full sun to reach a geological sinkhole in the island's interior.4:33 The route follows a long, exposed, red-sand road through sparse scrubland, with feral donkeys, aggressive dogs, and a reportedly lethal but critically endangered Barbudan snake as hazards.5:58 The sinkhole holds a dense, self-contained jungle ecosystem — described as primeval and largely undocumented — carpeted with hermit crabs.11:47 Hurricane Irma's 2017 destruction is still visible across Barbuda, with many structures reduced to foundations seven years on.4:10 The island is largely deserted outside Codrington. Navigating the reef entrance by visual transit is the key practical technique for reaching Codrington by dinghy.
