Sailboats anchored in Chatham Bay at golden hour
Cosa tratta questo video
Djé and Nad sail their Outremer catamaran from Bequia south through the Grenadines toward Carriacou, making stops at Mayreau and Union Island before anchoring at Chatham Bay. The passage runs in 15–22 knots of wind with a residual swell; they depart with two reefs in the mainsail but the wind drops to 15–17 knots, leaving them underpowered for most of the leg.3:54 Djé identifies two sail-trim errors: forgetting to lock the reefing reel when hoisting the mainsail, which loosened the boom vang and corrupted the mainsail shape, and taking a second reef that proved unnecessary given the actual conditions.7:20 Speed holds between 5.5 and 6 knots.13:09 At Mayreau they find their preferred anchorages too crowded or too exposed to swell and divert to Chatham Bay, Union Island, where they anchor in gusty, current-swept conditions.16:06 The anchor drags slightly on arrival; Djé monitors the chain and explains how alternating gusts and current create a natural shock-absorbing cycle that ultimately keeps the boat in place.20:58 Gusts reach 35–37 knots overnight.23:50 The stop also serves as the exit-clearance point before entering Carriacou.20:02 The trip is framed as the last real sail before a four-month stay in Carriacou.8:53 Taking one reef too many in uncertain forecasts costs more speed than the safety margin is worth when wind falls short of predictions.
