Two devastating hurricanes - Hurricanes Irma and Maria - hit the British Virgin Islands in 2017. In this video, we return to sail the BVI and get an update on recovery efforts before making a fabulous 3-day offshore passage to the Turks and Caicos.

Love the BVI. We chartered there in February and just missed you. We were at Norman and you were at Jost VD etc. Great to see recovery efforts and the local folks were SO happy to see us. Hopefully next we can get to the Bahamas this winter. All the best, Carleen. 🇨🇦

Found your channel a few days ago. Love what you all share! Retired pilot now, and wish I had the funds to buy a sailboat such as yours. Would love to travel that way, since I have traveled by air for all these years. Started flying when I was 15, now enjoying the life. Take care!

May I ask why your boat has jersey on the transom and you re flying a British ensign?

@oceandrew 5 лет назад

Jersey registry is available to many non British nationalities and as non EU nationals the Chards get to save on the VAT. The red ensign also comes with the Jersey registry.

@richardmondio7216 5 лет назад

I had no idea you sail at night time. Couldn't you collide with another ship, a reef or something floating on the ocean? Do you have a warning system or do you stay awake all night? Do you have a night camera or night vision goggles? How does that work? How can you even sleep at night wondering if a rogue wave will capsize your ship!

@DistantShoresTV 5 лет назад

Those are all good subjects for another night video Richard! Thanks for the suggestions. 1: Another ship will show up on our AIS warning system 2: A reef will be on our charts - plotters 3: something floating is still a worry :-( ... we do keep someone on watch 24 X 7 at sea but realistically they will not spot a floating object so we have to be confident in the toughness of our hull in case we collide. Good idea for a Vid!

@sailingavocet 5 лет назад

As DS mentioned most vessels are equipped with AIS to alert the crew, reefs and other obstacles will appear on charts which is why you always plot your course prior to setting sail. A big danger is shipping containers that fall overboard from shipping lanes, those things will tear your hull a new one! That's why you switch off on watch. We usually do 3 hours on and 3 hours off to ensure we both get enough sleep. I hope this provided some more insight, cheers!

@thestimpy2661 5 лет назад

Watch out for Dorian

@DistantShoresTV 5 лет назад

Thanks Stimpy. After filming this we headed north from the Bahamas up to Annapolis so we should be safe from any of the worse effects of Dorian. Our thoughts and hopes are with those in the path of Dorian, especially the Northern Bahamas and Abacos which seem certain to get a direct hit. Stay safe!

I guess the puddle jump from BVI to the Turks is considered a "passage" when you have a fragile production boat who keels all fall off. These people are not sailors.
