Departing Dominica's anchorage, Supernova encounters a crewless fishing boat that has broken free of its mooring ball and is drifting; Yvette and Darcy radio the Pays shore team, offer their dinghy to ferry the owner, and stand by on channel 16 until shore crew confirm they have it handled.2:14 Rounding Dominica's northern tip, a boat one mile ahead reports 50 knots; Supernova hits 63 knots (over 100 km/h) in the channel crossing to Guadeloupe — worse than the warning suggested.6:53 They anchor on the west coast of Basse-Terre rather than a packed anchorage spotted on Navionics, then work up to Deshaies.11:52 Dense crab-pot fields along Basse-Terre's west coast require constant course changes to avoid prop entanglement.15:17 Yvette's father, who joined for the Atlantic crossing, departs after a short Caribbean cruise.26:18 Pre-charter refit work includes repairing corroded, disconnected dinghy running-light wiring using heat-shrink connectors, fabricating a foam fender pad from a damaged fender to protect the hull from the outboard motor, and rigging a jib sheet as a makeshift whisker pole for downwind sailing.35:51 Corroded wire connections at the terminal — not the wiring run itself — caused the running-light failure.35:15
