Reality spends about a week sailing the west coast of St Lucia, stopping at three locations before departing for St Vincent and the Grenadines.1:07:46 Entering at Rodney Bay, David Blair and crew check into customs there and visit the fort on Pigeon Island before moving south.1:07:49 At Marigot Bay, roughly halfway down the west coast, they pick up a mooring buoy by calling on channel 12; the cost is 50 euros per night, with 30 buoys in the field and frequent sell-outs.8:38 They spend two days there eating at waterfront restaurants.1:08:01 The final stop is Soufrière, the southern jumping-off point for yachts heading to the Grenadines, where customs checkout is described as straightforward.1:08:15 A taxi excursion from Soufrière covers the Tet Pool hiking trail with Piton views, the drive-in volcano with hydrothermal vents at 171°C, and the botanical gardens — total cost 400 Eastern Caribbean dollars plus a driver tip.1:08:56 Anchoring near the Pitons is not possible due to depths exceeding 200 metres; mooring buoys are the only option.1:13:54 David plans a drone flight at the Piton viewpoint but wind prevents it.39:56 The onward passage to St Vincent is forecast at 20 knots, with a full main and jib expected to deliver six and a half to seven knots over a nine-hour, roughly 60-mile crossing.1:07:37
