A couple sailing a steel-hulled yacht completes a 30-nautical-mile passage from Guadeloupe to Montserrat in 28-to-36-knot winds.1:11 They sail under a small jib, maintaining 6 to 7 knots while using a windvane self-steering system to manage the beam seas.5:41 Upon arrival after dark, they anchor in a roadstead with poor holding and significant swell, requiring the crew to monitor the anchor position overnight and eventually increase chain scope.8:50
Montserrat remains largely restricted due to the ongoing activity of the Soufrière Hills volcano, which destroyed the capital, Plymouth, in 1997.12:15 Access to the exclusion zone is strictly regulated; the crew hires a local taxi guide to visit the buried ruins of the city, where volcanic ash has filled ground floors and raised the street level by several meters.13:08 The island’s southern two-thirds remain a restricted area due to the risk of pyroclastic flows and volcanic gases.12:36 Navigating near the coast requires caution, as maritime exclusion zones exist around the volcanic impact areas.7:28
