What this video covers

SV Cordelia cruises the British Virgin Islands, navigating from Long Bay on Beef Island to Monkey Point and eventually to Jost Van Dyke.0:47 The crew motors between anchorages, including Green Cay and Sandy Island, to manage wind shifts and avoid headwind conditions near Rough Point.6:34 While snorkeling at Monkey Bay yields unremarkable results, the crew visits the Bubbly Pool on Little Jost Van Dyke, a natural rock formation that creates a jacuzzi-like effect as waves surge through a narrow crevice.5:11 The crew notes that Sandy Island, a small sandbar with palm trees, was replanted by locals following the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017.10:15 Navigation requires constant attention to wind direction and sea state, as the crew encounters significant wave action while dinghy-ing to shore.10:37 The transit concludes with the crew preparing to relocate due to incoming bad weather, noting the necessity of adjusting chain scope in 8 meters of water.16:28
