O que este vídeo aborda
Yvette and Darcy sail their Sunreef 62 from St. Martin to the British Virgin Islands overnight, arriving in daylight — the culmination of a goal set when they bought the boat a year ago, with the intent to charter it professionally.▶ 0:04 Darcy takes the solo night watch while Yvette sleeps; a morning squall brings heavy rain but little wind, tracked on radar, and passes quickly.▶ 1:04 Approaching the BVI, they transit between Peter Island and Norman Island, spot unmarked crab or fish pots in relatively deep water not shown on Navionics, and head for Soper's Hole on Tortola's west end to clear customs, immigration, port authority, and a vet inspection for their cat Coconut.▶ 5:32 Soper's Hole's inner mooring field is crowded and boats swing dangerously when the wind dies, so they take a mooring ball on the outer edge.▶ 13:00 Over several days they drive to Roadtown, the capital, to work through a multi-step BVI charter work-visa process: health check, Labor Department interview, immigration interview, and a final orientation — with passports held by immigration pending the last step.▶ 13:42 They also meet their charter house.▶ 19:44 A dinghy lift anti-chafe tape repair is shown in detail.▶ 20:39 The BVI's protected inter-island waters and variety of anchorages, mooring fields, and marinas are noted as reasons the area suits charter and cruising alike.▶ 6:48
