[Music]

[Music]

hey hi

well we've left Dominica on a windless

day but exceeds a super calm

saying goodbye to beautiful Dominica

mid cell up but they still win

and sure pong

so this is our Anchorage Inn here at

Portsmouth on dominica as a Zumo you can

see all of dominica we're heading

south-southeast

and there's Martinique and our first

stop will be here at st. Pierre which is

where Mel Pele erupted in 1907 I believe

and killed thirty thousand people except

for one guy it was in the jail and he

survived and then down here is the main

town north of Ross down in here

look at the wind

in point a and it's going o play

the only one is the wind we're creating

so we're out here at Dominica along the

coast and there's a pot of either

dolphins or pilot whales sleeping at the

surface you can see them here right in

line with that sail about that white oh

there they go that's a better shot what

not be awesome oh yeah they are there oh

those are big dolphins yeah they're

dolphins for sure wow there's a lot of

them whoa here they can't go faster

they're coming right to us yeah I could

see them come under water go Chris they

go go get her home you ought to play

look at them underwater they're after

mom

ah

my way and they're gone

why they're gonna come they could catch

away the world

way back there now

the boys are in the water trying to get

a glimpse of the Dolphins so we're

playing off the coast of Dominica with

our friends on sandy beat boys are

in the water trying to see they can

catch a glimpse sub close with the

dolphins but they're feeling shy today I

think

and then

over here

[Music]

coast of Dominica

oh cool

there's a bunch of transport

Christa go near truck

[Music]

my conscience leapt off the boat

I said go and he went these guys GoPro

enhance and the Dolphins are right

underneath us again

oh they're all next to us but they're

out here buddy they're too far away

they're feeding did you get one sweet

good on you venture boy

now what

in that way for us

I got the water maker going

a gallons an hour

that's the parts-per-million

see who's having another slice of bread

homemade bread

these are still calm

and we're making some good time really

averaging like six knots sales are up

motor sailing but still pretty views so

see what happens when we get to that

point up there then we'll be into the

Martinique Passage and waves could

potentially get a little bigger in there

but based on what's out here it's going

to be pretty calm still

even if it doubled this so we've decent

and our buddy boat sandy feed is still

behind us

Oh quarter of a mile or so that's just a

beautiful day

so here we are at the point and like I

said we were expecting the wind to shift

it once it got around the point and

that's exactly what it's done we're kind

of scurrying around while you're

checking the portside closing our

hatches and the Whitecaps have kicked up

quite significantly as well as the swell

so now we're into it we got 25 miles of

it to the tip of Martinique and it's

showing 26 not to win

so

can change on a dime out here don't

believe it

that's crazy thank God the seas aren't

any larger

we are rockin and rollin

25 to 30 is 29 knots again

it's going to be a rough ride hopefully

we don't do any damage to the boat on

the way over

not what the forecast said let it stay

out here 10 to 15

25 miles of this

you

very not the wind

Hey

goes inside $20

yeah there's no way you're gonna get him

to stand up

pretty fun still some breaks I guess but

and it's pretty fun

but I like it like this yes

yeah there's a big way out I know it's a

big rollercoaster ride so we got our

life jackets they're not on because

we're all sitting comfortably in the

cockpit but they're ready they're right

here

they're on just pass them out just you

know just to be on the safe side

actually that's mine son

Crysta bikini and a life jacket

creaking noises the jib sheet units

shackled take straight right now

oh we're close were close a long day of

lots of wind

how you doing Tiger feeling any better

well thanks TV beginning a little bit

tougher a little crazier

I don't have to say well it's fine

hopefully it will be in the Lee of

Martinique soon a tugboat just cut us

off I did just buy course which puts

broadside more broadside than we are to

the waves and the cockpit and we it yeah

we had a couple inches of water

screaming around inside here from a wave

that's been a fun ride today right winds

wind got strongest we hit thirty three

point seven knots and my curling chalk

cam cleat blew up we had this incredibly

loud bang kind of blew up now we're

starting to get in leave the island and

things are calming down a bit but Wow

we're brief but it just wasn't enough

when I hit 34 knots so the jib furler so

now

used to go up here like that but of

course it come on
