What this video covers

A 40-foot catamaran, *Mister Tong*, transits from Les Saintes to Terre-de-Bas, Guadeloupe, while preparing for a subsequent passage to Dominica.0:06 During the coastal leg, the crew maintains a full mainsail and genoa in 15 knots of wind, sailing at 40 degrees off the apparent wind at speeds of 5 to 6 knots. The vessel anchors in 3.5 meters of water at Terre-de-Bas using 35 meters of chain on a sandy patch. The crew utilizes the *SailClear* website to manage customs declarations for their movement between French territories, noting that digital registration suffices for travel between Guadeloupe and Martinique. Onboard maintenance includes salvaging fiberglass composite materials from a discarded catamaran engine cover found near the anchorage to fabricate custom chandelier supports. The crew also explores local hiking trails near Grand-Anse and conducts snorkeling trips around nearby reefs, noting the presence of sargassum seaweed along the coastline.
