The crew of the 42-foot Millennial Falcon faces a mandatory seven-day quarantine in St. George's, Grenada, following government-imposed lockdown restrictions.1:32 To mitigate heavy rolling caused by a beam swell, the crew attempts to reorient the boat by deploying a secondary anchor and a bridle, eventually succeeding after several hours of trial and error.5:10 They determine that a bridle—snubbing the anchor chain back to a stern winch—is the most effective method for aligning the bow into the swell in calm conditions.8:58 During the isolation period, the crew maintains the vessel by rebedding a leaky window using Fusion Tape and performing routine maintenance.16:49 They also navigate daily inspections by the local coast guard and manage morale through structured activities like poker and exercise.16:15 The experience confirms that a bridle provides a reliable, low-effort solution for adjusting a boat's heading in a swell compared to complex stern-anchoring maneuvers.
