ep64 - Sailing Anegada - Sailing BVI - Hallberg-Rassy 54 Cloudy Bay - Mar 2019

Perfect Caribbean sailing to the stunningly beautiful Anegada island, in the north of the British Virgin Islands. Scooter tour around the island and wonderful drone footage of the unspoiled natural environment.
Following our exploration of Anguilla, we sail 80nm west to the British Virgin Islands and check-in at Virgin Gorda. Our 18nm day-sail up to Anegada was near perfect blue water sailing in the trade winds, arriving to turquoise coral waters. There, we help a charter yacht which was aground, enjoy the delights of the famous Anegada BBQ lobster then tour the island by scooter, visiting every corner. This island has stunning natural beauty both on its shoreline and interior lakes. We take a lot of drone footage, including catching a glimpse of the elusive flock of Pink Flamingos. You can really feel we are enjoying ourselves on this island. It is probably one of our all-time favorite places. We especially enjoyed Anegada Beach Club and, of course, kitesurfing over crystal clear shallow waters of the Atlantic shore.
8-12 March 2019

Great video Glen.... don't ever apologise for the amount of sailing content, we love it and can't get enough! Your sail plan works wonderfully and the boat looks so balanced, as well as making great progress.

Can't beat The BVI for sailing. The lobster on Anegada is not to be missed.

yes, it's no surprise it's so popular with charter fleets. And it seems like we now know the "busy day" of the week in Anegada - the day we left!

Nilson, Vielen Dank für den Kommentar und DANKE, dass Sie sich alle unsere Videos angesehen haben! Wenn Sie alle unsere Videos gesehen haben, möchte ich Ihnen bitte eine Frage stellen. Wie würden Sie dieses Video im Vergleich zu anderen bewerten? Ist die Erzählung und die Karten eine gute Ergänzung oder bevorzugen Sie nur reines natürliches Video ohne weitere Informationen?

[@nilsongaucho609]

Ja, deine Videos sind sehr vollständig und je mehr Informationen, desto besser..

[@davidolson7575]

Thanks Glenn you and your lovely wife make these videos so nice. Like I saw a comment below I can’t wait to see your next video coming in the fall of this year. We look forward to welcome you back to the US and back to the Caribbean or wherever you might sail. Professionalism of your videos is so fantastic have a great summer and see you in the fall

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks so much for the compliment David. There will be several more videos before we set off again in the fall. Hopefully we will have completely caught up with editing by then. Right now, I'm back on the boat in Maryland, Continuing with some maintenance.

Thanks Cliff, so very glad if we helped in any little way to get you out there. How was it getting around Bahamas with the Covid restrictions? We heard the need to planty of expensive tests.

I don't care about lobsters, I don't care about postcard like beaches, I'm here for the sailing and you do a great job filming it. Fair winds sailor.

[@SailCloudyBay]

You are not alone Mario. I think most like our channel for the sailing, when we get chance to film it nicely. Unfortunately (for viewers) for our memories we have to capture the more boring stuff too!

[@michaeltca3103]

Gorgeous sailboat. Just perfect. Sails so smoothly through waves vs the hobby horsing of a Catamaran. Never been so sick as on a Cat sailing.

[@jayneroberts919]

Your videos are such a treat! I really enjoy being along for the ride while you explore these islands with humour and curiosity. You find such little gems! Thank you, looking forward to the next release.

[@stinkintoad]

You picked good anchoring spots.. I ran aground there 3 years ago on our Jenneau 47, and it was a drama getting free .I can see where we ran onto a sandbar at 37:45 as it sticks out in kind of an underwater sand jetty from the yellow beach club building. Good times,

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yep, it was a tricky anchorage for us too, Michael.

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

I love the sailing footage! Need more!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Unfortunately Peter, there aren't many days with sailing like that! But you know us ... whenever we can get good sailing footage, we will. Its our trade mark :)

[@sun-days-fun]

The echo ist an intersting sound effect

[@SailCloudyBay]

The echo on the voice? Yes, I believe its the GoPro wind-noise compensation software - for some reason it puts an echo on the voice. We now have a much better windmuffler over the whole camera and no longer get that effect. But this video was from 2 years ago. We are learning all the time :)

[@rogeranderson8763]

Some friends and I had a truly outstanding sail from BVI to Anegada a couple of years ago....20-25mph wind, 9-10kts boat speed. We were aboard a 45' cat from TMM charters....one of the best places to get a bareboat on Tortuga. Here's a tip....have dinner at the Wonky Dog....one of the best prepared, served and tasty meals at a restaurant I have ever had.....they're truly great at what they do. -Veteran '66-68

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks for the comment Roger. It was the Wonky Dog bar where I held up the giant lobster.... I think. I'd eaten there last time and agree it was VERY good. But wanted to try something different this time. Funny, I think it was a TMM charter cat that I took from Tortola in 2003 - the previous time I was there.

[@hughburgess4168]

Your videos just get better. I keep jumping from Long Island to the Caribbean. I haven’t seen a poor video yet. The quality is amazing. Very accomplished kite surfer too! Loved the wildness of Anegada. Bliss.

[@CDhunt]

Damn brings back some good memories especially Loblollybay👏✌️

[@SailCloudyBay]

I bet it's the same for anyone who has visited Anegada, Chris. It sure is beautiful place.

[@dilligafwoftam985]

Great video guys⛵. Charter boats are a group unto themselves and, I find, best given wide birth. On the river here the other dreaded encounter is with a mob🐑🐑🐑 of charter power boats with the most fearsome message 'NO LICENCE REQUIRED' painted along the hull 😱. Stay safe, Ron 🇦🇺

[@SailCloudyBay]

Yep, don't like to slander them too much because I've been there with them once or twice. And even if you do have experience (which a lot don't) being in charge of a new (different) boat takes a while to get used to. At least as long as the charter lasts. My issue in the BVIs is that I believe the islands are over-doing chart boats. It's crammed.

[@barkinshark1]

Your focus on giving us great views of the boat sailing is what sets your channel apart from the rest! Thank you for the great journey, don’t change a thing!!!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Glad you like them!

Welcome to SCB Brian. Your comment is interesting to us. Would you mind telling us more about how we are different. We try very much not to paly along with the usual drama and "reality TV" style, but would value your own thoughts.

[@bgpearce01]

@@SailCloudyBay Sure. I guess it's the footage you show and the way it's edited, makes it feel more like I am "present". I grew up on the water, but it's been many years and I am in the process of selling everything and jointing you on the seas. The other youtubers are great, but it's more about what they are doing. Your videos help me feel like I am on the boat with you and give me that ocean feeling. I'll say Hi if I ever see you two 😁

Glen & Oana, Loved the video! I'm going to be doing my first self-captained charter in the BVI this June. The monohull we'll be on is very similar in size to Sail Cloudy Bay, 6'4" draft. Can you share with me in more detail where you ended up anchoring after coming in thru the channel at Anegada. I really don't want to run a ground. Enjoy and thanks for sharing your insight!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Send me an email on sailcloudybay(at)gmail and I’ll send you a pic of our track to anchor and exact lat/long.

Beautiful, stunning, spectacular, gorgeous... I’m lost for words. Is this secretly a HR advertising scheme? Just love the real sailing footage in the gorgeous blue water. Keep up the great work, just what I need after another day in home office... Glen lookin very smart indeed kite surfing!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks for that lovely comment. It really was beautiul sailing that day.

[@dalecharlesphotography8545]

Amazing footage as always. Apologies in advance for the long post but strong coffee and there's a lot here!! Love the new graphics and geography. Good fun, with flags and ships! Arrrrsome (sarrrrry not sorry). Really enjoy the sailing only segments, a dedicated 1-hr compilation episode of such w/o narration would be a hit with me and many others in your superfan group! ha. Sunny sailing therapy for these cloudy days. Shallow between isles or are those soundings in meters? Just noticed the many line clutches on the mast and what are those black rectangle/oval patches @ 38:36 ? Stood next to an HR53 and was in awe of the girth of the mast, not translated well with wide angle video cameras. It's massive. Also noticed a great shot of the ss spinnaker bowsprit. The HR54 continues to impress me with it's engineering and your attention to detail keeping it tidy. There's just so many older boats that look to be a spaghetti bowl of messy rigging and lines everywhere. Would love to hear you speak to any changes you'd make on the NA and rigging etc. HR has to be a big fan, you must be one of their fav cruisers' channels. Drooling over their new HR50. Thanks for the long vid! *One issue probably out of your control.. a lot of ads. Oh well. Commerce and such buys new parts and cocktails!

[@SailCloudyBay]

Thanks for the long comment Dale and your time to write it. Yes, the sailing sequences, along with the maintenance always seems to be the hits with viewers. I'm afraid the last 3-4 we posted were greatly lacking those aspects but they were what they were for use to record our memories (main purpose of our editing). Yes, our depth is in metres ..... so x by 3.281 for US feet. Those oval plates on the mast are simple covers to various inspection holes on the mast. Each there for a reason (to attach the clew of the sail, to adjust the luff extrusion tension etc.). The SS bow sprit was once a 50mm (2") prop shaft! Its a bit longer than the official HR model and I had it made quite a bit cheaper than HR .... no surprise. Yes, we have a pretty chunky mast section. Infact I think the HR53 is an even bigger section than the 54. Because the 54 has 3 sets of spreaders vs the 53's 2 sets. So I guess the 53 needs a stronger mast. While I like the new designs, the 53 (and its generation) were the last real bullet proof HRs. Its all trending a bit light since then. The 54 (and generation) was the start of the trend. But oh-hum, they need to sell boats and that, they are certainly doing. Yes, maybe a video on the "upgrades" and changes we made might be interesting. Also a compilation of pure sail for a full hour. I like the idea. Maybe a summer project for me. But first we need to get up to date with the material we still have to edit and post. On the adverts. Yes, sorry about that. You see, when we look at the posts we dont see the ads. But Oana just watched several vids today as a normal viewer would see them and she was a bit shocked by the length and extent of the ads. You Tube is clearly raking in the money! Us, not! We get about $3 per 1000 views. I calculated once. That works out at about 75cents per hour of editing time for the average video with average views! There .... that was the long answer!

[@SailCloudyBay]

I just went and removed a bunch of ads. It was crazy - there were 15 ads there (automatically placed by UT).

[@peterm.nangeroni691]

Hi Oana & Glen Boy, you two are really upping the video editing, especially with the geographic details and drone footage. You couldn't ask for much more..... We did just about the same trip as you two, but with an RTV instead of the motor cycle. That was one BIG lobster you held, the smaller are better eating as you knew. Are you both back aboard CB yet?

total noob questions bc Im new to sailing and really getting into it. What model boat and what year is it? it is beautiful and you look like you sail it well. Also, is the red british flag near the mast the flag you would use to determine which point of sail you are on? You look like you were close-hauled for a bit and then became a little more closed-reach? Great vids, thank you for the content

[@SailCloudyBay]

Josh, there are no stupid questions ... just stupid listeners! Cloudy Bay is a 2008 Hallberg Rassy 54 built in Ellos, Sweden. Length is just under 55ft. weight 30 tons. HR are well know for producing solid Ocean going sailing yachts for several decades now.

@@SailCloudyBay what happens when the reducer fails and you have to get a new one how do you keep up with the original mileage if you know what i mean?

The mileage is "kept" inside the navigation computer/plotter. So its never lost unless you get a new nav system. Then, with the new one, its possible to manually program what previous miles were up to.
