What this video covers

A catamaran crew transits the west coast of Antigua, sailing from Jolly Harbour toward a northern anchorage in 25-knot winds.0:12 The vessel experiences hydraulic steering issues, forcing the owners to steer manually while navigating near St. John's.2:50 Upon arrival, the crew encounters crowded conditions in a large bay, where other vessels repeatedly anchor within 20 to 30 meters of their position, prompting the owners to request that the nearby boats relocate.15:23 The crew also performs maintenance, fabricating fiberglass backing plates to reinforce stanchions and cleats on the deck to prevent water ingress and point loading.4:57 Additionally, they troubleshoot a malfunctioning washing machine drum, suspecting a mechanical obstruction rather than a bearing failure.13:41 The owners plan to return to Jolly Harbour to clear out of Antigua before departing for their next destination.29:11 Sailing the leeward coast of Antigua offers favorable conditions with minimal swell, though the area features significant resort development and limited snorkeling opportunities.27:54
