Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Sam Holmes sails his monohull from Rodney Bay Marina, St. Lucia, to Martinique on a four-to-five-hour upwind passage in 12–17 knots, with the mainsail and jib both reefed due to heel.Watch He disputes an 80-kilowatt-hour electricity charge at the marina before departure.0:05 In Martinique he anchors near a Dutch sailor named Huub, who is finishing repairs on a hurricane-damaged catamaran.2:46 Ashore, Holmes and Huub rent a car, tour Fort de France, visit St. Pierre (destroyed by a historic volcanic eruption), and tour the Habitation Clément rum distillery.4:59 A day sail around the south tip to Martinique's windward side involves dense fishing buoys with surface lines that foul the wind vane, and a close-quarters anchorage where squalls shift the wind and leave two feet under the keel.8:42 Huub catches rainwater during the squalls and supplies jerry cans to refill Holmes's tanks.12:15 Huub then gives a Navionics-based cruising overview of the Eastern Caribbean — covering Grenada, Carriacou, the Tobago Keys, Union Island, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, and Martinique anchorages including Grand Anse, Anse Noir, and Rivière Salée — with notes on anchoring rules, mooring availability, check-in ports, snorkeling, and the Underwater Sculpture Park.14:38
