These Islands Are VOLATILE - From a VOLCANO to a ROUGH 2-Day Passage | SailAway 146 | Sailing Life

From the base of a VOLCANO on the verge of ERUPTION, we embark on a very windy and rough 2 DAY and 2 NIGHT PASSAGE to Antigua. If we've learned one thing, it's that we can't pretend to be masters of mother nature. We may use the wind to our advantage and benefit from the bounty of the sea, but it can all turn on you in a moment and you're entirely at her mercy. We were VERY lucky to have made the decision to leave St. Vincent and the Grenadines about 2 months ago, obviously not knowing that the La Soufriere volcano would soon erupt with such devastating force. But in winter conditions of 20-30 knot winds and extremely disturbed seas in the island channels, our two day passage was no pleasure sail. It's times like these you really get to decide if you're cut our for this life. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY FRIDAY! Cheers!!
