O que este vídeo aborda
Reality sails from St. Barts to Saba, a Dutch Caribbean island, in 15 knots of wind.▶ 1:28 Approaching the north shore, the crew targets a mooring buoy off Fort Bay; if none is free, the fallback is Ladder Bay, which holds six or seven buoys.▶ 2:19 Reality picks up a visitors' mooring and David Blair takes the dinghy ashore — a 20-minute ride — to clear customs and immigration at Fort Bay.▶ 2:19 The crew had set a lobster trap on the way in and worried customs would require them to remove it; they were not asked to do so.▶ 4:01 Clearing in costs $4 per person per day.▶ 7:31 The transcript notes that Fort Bay is the only practical landing point, with access restricted to three small yellow tenders — private dinghies are not permitted at the dock.▶ 4:59 A local guide, Miss Jona, drives the crew around the island, pointing out the town of Bottom, Queen's Gardens Hotel (recently sold and under renovation), a new port under construction, a solar farm project, and Windwardside.▶ 17:21 Saba has no real beaches; imported white sand is brought from St. Maarten once or twice a year to create a small swimming area.▶ 18:49 The island's highest point offers a 360-degree view.▶ 20:03 Locals note that sargassum accumulates on the exposed shore.▶ 18:49 Diving off Saba is described as excellent, with shore diving available on one side of the island.▶ 25:02
