Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A Leopard 50 departs Gustavia, St. Barts, after a single overnight stay and makes a 16-mile passage back to the Dutch side of St. Martin, entering Simpson Bay.4:51 Bobby notes the Gustavia anchorage is poor for extended stays: permanent mooring balls occupy the close-in water, forcing anchored boats far out, and the anchorage holds a surprising number of liveaboards — workers who anchor cheaply because housing on St. Barts is prohibitively expensive.5:15 Because the crew had checked in and out simultaneously, no separate clearance was needed on departure.4:56 Ashore, the group had lunch at Nikki Beach, cooled off at a hilltop pool, then took a 10-minute dinghy ride to Gustavia and a taxi to a cabaret called Laetit for dinner and a show.2:48 The return sail ran at 7.5 knots downwind under main and Genoa; building seas made the passage rough for hungover crew.7:19 At Simpson Bay, Bobby anchored briefly to clear customs and immigration, then timed the 2 p.m. bridge opening — one of three daily, through a 50-foot-wide span — to enter and med-moor at Simpson Bay Marina, using differential engine thrust to maneuver the catamaran into the slip.11:03
