The crew of the sailboat Harpoon grounds their keel while maneuvering into a shallow, poorly marked anchorage upon arriving at the British Virgin Islands from St. Kitts.2:51 After misjudging the depth and attempting to reposition the boat, the vessel strikes the bottom, narrowly avoiding a more severe grounding against a nearby pier.5:48 The crew notes that the area is crowded with charter yachts and lacks clear navigation markers, making close-quarters maneuvering difficult.6:13

To facilitate a planned passage to Puerto Rico, the crew travels by ferry from the British Virgin Islands to the US Virgin Islands.7:47 This trip allows them to secure a 90-day US visa, a requirement for entering Puerto Rico that cannot be met by arriving on their private vessel.7:06 The crew observes that the British Virgin Islands offer protected, wave-free sailing conditions similar to the Baltic Sea, contrasting sharply with the open-ocean passages required between the islands of the Lesser Antilles.12:29 They plan to spend several days exploring local bays before departing for Puerto Rico.9:11
