What this video covers

Janae and Jason navigate the Atlantic side of Antigua, moving from English Harbour through narrow, reef-strewn channels to reach a secluded anchorage.0:14 Because they lack updated Caribbean charts for their primary chart plotter and rely on a phone running Navionics, the crew navigates by sight to avoid unmarked reefs and a visible shipwreck. The transit involves passing active dredging equipment that requires careful maneuvering.9:39 Upon arrival, the crew discovers a barracuda has punctured their tender, necessitating repairs.8:32 After exploring a local fort and beach, the pair decides to bypass a planned stop in St. Barts, opting instead for an overnight 16-hour passage to St. Martin to collect urgent packages.16:24 The experience highlights the necessity of reliable navigation tools in Caribbean waters, where unmarked hazards and wrecks are common.
