The crew of the sailboat Regina departs Saint Martin in late April, heading south toward Saint Kitts and Nevis to avoid the approaching hurricane season.▶ 0:12 Persistent southerly winds had previously trapped the vessel in Saint Martin for two months, making northward travel easy but southward progress difficult.▶ 0:05 During the passage, the crew maintains a speed of approximately six to seven knots, navigating through the leeward side of Saint Kitts and Nevis to minimize wave impact.▶ 7:49 The vessel carries 750 watts of solar capacity, which consistently keeps batteries above 90% charge, rendering the wind generator unnecessary during daylight hours.▶ 11:24 To improve sail handling, the crew replaces Genoa sheets using a Dyneema shackle and a figure-eight knot, a configuration designed to protect the sail's clew.▶ 15:13 After a brief stop at Saint Kitts, the boat continues to Montserrat, anchoring in a calm, protected area near the volcanic exclusion zone.▶ 21:47 The crew plans to visit the ghost town of Plymouth, destroyed by a 1995 volcanic eruption, before proceeding to Antigua.▶ 23:28
