What this video covers
Djé and Nad sail their Outremer catamaran from a mooring in Martinique to Grand Anse for a 15-day holiday stay with friends Steph, Béa, and Roxana.1:04 Departure is in gusty conditions from Fort-de-France bay; the genoa unrolls with some resistance and the mainsail stays down through the channel because of a strong tailwind.2:00 The approach to Grand Anse anchorage requires three attempts the previous visit; this time friends wade in to assist with lines and the boat moors faster.12:20 Anchor chain is cleaned and checked after the crew leaves the boat for a car-rental provisioning run in a Kia Picanto.16:57 Ashore, Djé hikes the trail from Grand Anse through L'Anse du Four to Anse Noire — roughly 5.5 km with 300 m of elevation gain — noting the route is humid, occasionally slippery, and passes a small fishing village and a mangrove reserve with turtles.23:17 The crew completes a scuba diving baptism, buys Coppercoat antifouling and a wet-dry vacuum for upcoming haulout work, and closes the episode on New Year's Day with plans for chainplate reinforcement repairs.44:47
