A Hylas 56 delivery departs Chaguaramas, Trinidad, bound for Annapolis, Maryland — the final leg of a 7,500-mile passage from Cape Town.▶ 0:53 The first 500-mile leg crosses the Caribbean Sea to the British Virgin Islands in three days, running under full main, headsail, and staysail in consistent 15–20-knot trade winds from the east, with occasional gusts requiring a reef in the main and rolling away the staysail.▶ 2:01 Customs clearance in Road Town Harbour, Tortola precedes the next leg north.▶ 3:25 The crew clears into the Turks and Caicos at Blue Haven Marina, then navigates through reef on departure in heavy rain with 1,000 miles to the US.▶ 6:03 A weather front forces a stop near the west end of Grand Bahama to wait out a storm at anchor.▶ 8:17 The Gulf Stream adds 3.5 knots of boat speed on the run up the US East Coast, pushing average speed to 9.5–10 knots.▶ 9:03 The boat rounds Cape Hatteras, transits the 17.5-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (built 1964), passes the Potomac River entrance, and arrives in Annapolis.▶ 9:56 Using the Gulf Stream strategically on the final US coastal leg cut passage time significantly.
