What this video covers
Cozzy and Micho cruise their Leopard 40, Salty Days, through the French Caribbean island of Marie Galante (part of Guadeloupe) after a rough, rolly anchorage forces an early move to a calmer spot.▶ 1:34 The episode follows a scooter tour of the 160-square-kilometre island — sugar plantation history, coral and crustaceans found inland, quiet French seaside villages, and a lunch stop at Touloulou — alongside a practical note that locals expect at least an attempt at French before they'll serve you.▶ 4:52 Travelling in company with Rob and Kerry aboard the Ultrama 55 Balibu, the crew navigates dense fishing trap fields on departure, where clear-bottle floats make the lines nearly invisible and a fouled prop is the main hazard.▶ 12:34 A mast climb at sunset clears a jammed American flag from a halyard block and replaces the broken line.▶ 10:18 The 25-nautical-mile passage to Portsmouth, Dominica runs in light wind on one engine.▶ 18:47 Context includes boat registration problems and Cozzy's recent medical trip back to Perth, framing the Caribbean arrival as a delayed honeymoon.▶ 1:17 Fishing trap density around Marie Galante demands constant watch on departure; clear-bottle markers are the hardest to spot.▶ 12:34
