What this video covers

The catamaran *Mister Tongue* completes a coastal passage from Sainte-Anne to Les Trois-Îlets, Martinique, in light winds. During the transit, the crew maintains speeds between 4 and 6 knots with 8 to 11 knots of wind, opting to sail rather than motor.2:34 The route requires careful navigation to avoid numerous fish traps (casiers) concentrated near the coast and in shallower areas.8:54 The crew manages several rain squalls by adjusting sail plan, including reefing the mainsail and furling the genoa as needed.4:37 Upon arrival at Les Trois-Îlets, the crew focuses on boat maintenance, including organizing the interior and addressing high humidity levels by keeping ports open rather than drying laundry inside the hulls.31:01 Future maintenance plans include inspecting the chainplates and potentially replacing the current anchor with a Spade or Rocna model, citing three previous instances of dragging in high winds.35:13 The crew also discusses the impracticality of purchasing specialized marine washing machines, opting instead to research standard, affordable alternatives that fit the vessel's existing cabinetry.36:03
