Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the sailboat Sunday explores the British Virgin Islands, visiting the Bitter End Yacht Club on Virgin Gorda and the nearby Saba Rock.0:19 After enjoying local lobster in the remote anchorage of Anegada, the crew encounters poor holding on a rocky bottom, forcing them to rely on chain weight during squally weather.5:08 They subsequently depart Anegada for Leverick Bay to seek shelter from worsening conditions.7:24 During the 14-nautical-mile passage, the crew attempts to sail in light winds but encounters multiple squalls.8:00 While maneuvering between weather fronts, a 30-knot gust causes the boat to round up and perform an unintentional 360-degree turn.14:33 The crew eventually drops the sails and motors the final distance to the anchorage.14:35 Rocky, hard-bottom anchorages in the British Virgin Islands require careful site selection, as relying solely on chain weight is insufficient during high-wind squalls.
