Lauren Landers departs St. Thomas to anchor at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island before motor-sailing 30 to 40 miles toward Virgin Gorda to clear customs into the British Virgin Islands.7:38 To depart a dock with wind pinning the boat against it, she holds the stern line while reversing to port to push the bow out, then engages the bow thrusters once the stern clears.3:15 She manages dinghy davits by running the stern line to an electric winch while manually pulling the bow.5:45 The boat features a hot water heater and air conditioning, which she operates while anchored in 30-foot depths.4:07 She plans to rendezvous with the vessels Clam Shack and Gypsy near Virgin Gorda for a social gathering.7:02 After a rough 7-mile, 90-minute transit, she anchors in clear water near reef systems, noting that the wind conditions in the USVI and BVI often necessitate tacking or motor-sailing due to prevailing easterlies.12:31
