Yvette and Darcy sail Supernova from Peter Island, BVI, to St. Thomas, USVI, checking out of the BVI at Road Town, Tortola, before crossing under a U.S. Coast Guard small craft advisory with winds around 20 knots.▶ 0:02 Departing Road Town with two reefs in the mainsail and a staysail, they run wing-on-wing past Buck Island before anchoring near the St. Thomas capital around 6 p.m. and raising the quarantine flag.▶ 3:23 The next morning, Yvette uses her B1/B2 cruising visa — required for entry by sailboat into U.S. territory, unlike land or air entry — to check in at customs and immigration without incident, after two previous failed U.S. check-ins.▶ 0:29 Ashore, they explore Charlotte Amalie's Main Street, Fort Christian (built 1671 by the Danes), and two historic harbor batteries on an uninhabited island.▶ 11:30 The main logistical challenge is retrieving four packages shipped via St. Thomas Cargo from the U.S. mainland: loading the oversized crates into a dinghy in 20-knot wind, taking 50 waves over the bow on a 30-minute ride, then hoisting the largest box aboard using a topping lift with lines belly-wrapped under the crate for control.▶ 20:39 A fifth, larger package awaits pickup in St. Martin.▶ 32:20
