Cosa tratta questo video
Adam and Chiara sail their 45-foot catamaran, Millennial Falcon, from St Lucia to Bequia in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.0:14 The 100-mile passage takes approximately 17 hours, departing at 4:25 a.m. to ensure an arrival before midnight.2:16 By choosing to sail the windward side of the islands rather than the traditional leeward route, the crew avoids the lee and experiences different coastal conditions.4:14 Winds remain light, averaging 7 to 12 knots, which allows the boat to maintain a speed of 4 to 7 knots without engine assistance for most of the trip.8:28 The crew monitors weather patterns, specifically avoiding tropical waves and cumulonimbus clouds to ensure a stable, sunny passage.13:30 Upon arrival in Bequia, the crew clears customs and anchors, noting that the anchorage is crowded with lobster pots and other vessels.14:40 They observe a nearby boat dragging anchor during a subsequent period of high winds and unstable weather.16:41
