What this video covers
The crew of an Island SPIRIT 525 transits from Cooper Island to Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands to visit The Baths.▶ 0:01 The five-mile passage requires motoring directly into the wind at 2,000 RPM, resulting in a speed of 5.5 to 6 knots.▶ 1:45 Upon arrival, the crew secures the vessel to a mooring ball and uses a dinghy to reach the national park.▶ 3:39 Because dinghies are prohibited from landing at the beach, visitors must tie to a swim line and swim several hundred yards to shore.▶ 4:12 The park requires a $3 per person entrance fee and enforces a one-way hiking loop through the granite rock formations and caves.▶ 5:12 Later, the crew motors to Gorda Sound, anchoring at a mooring ball near the Bitter End Yacht Club.▶ 11:29 The day concludes with dinner at Saba Rock, which hosts a daily 5 p.m. tarpon feeding.▶ 14:53
