A solo sailor completes a 200-nautical-mile passage from Guadeloupe to St. Croix in the USVI aboard a catamaran following extensive hurricane repairs.Watch The transit serves as a shakedown cruise to identify necessary maintenance, including the installation of a second bilge pump, repair of a shower drain, and replacement of a damaged wind indicator.2:24 During the two-day trip, the sailor manages power consumption by running the port engine to supplement solar panels, noting that current solar capacity is insufficient for autopilot, refrigeration, and computer charging.14:31 Navigation involves crossing the Saba Bank, where the sailor avoids shallow areas due to potential sea state concerns.15:51 Upon arrival, the sailor anchors in a sandy patch after verifying the hold by swimming, then completes customs clearance via the CBP app and an in-person visit to the airport.23:02 To reach the airport, the sailor uses an electric scooter for a 17-mile round trip.23:46 The passage confirms the need for additional solar power and ongoing repairs to navigation and electrical systems.14:52
