- 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
Visited: Neptunes Treasure, Lobster Trap, Anegada Reef Hotel, Flamingo Pond Lookout, Flash of Beauty, Deep Bay, Loblolly Bay, Table Bay, Whispering Pines, Anegada Beach Club, Cow Wreck
The very very veryyy best of sailing videos!
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.
Thanks Bob .... yes she was really thundering that day. Always like to have the right amount of sail up!
I don't care if it's 1:00am, it's my weekly dose of Cloudy video......
It'll still be there in the morning Glen!
Wow...great images..fantastic blues!
It really was beautiful water to sail through Andre.
Beautiful boat, love the teak.
thank you. beautiful and joyful
Agree on both Anthony. The island was wonderful and we were in a very good mood ourselves.
Stunning footage - THANK YOU again for taking us along with you!! So happy to see the video's return and the luscious sounds Cloudy makes as she dances in the water!
Yep, we thought viewers would like to hear that sound again .... it's been a while.
Brings back some great memories. Thank you for a great video.
Our pleasure!
Wow, that last minute is picture perfect...makes you dream away...great video
Thanks Donald. Yes, the water colour there is quite special.
Beautiful video . Thank you . Hollywood is resting...
Thanks .... love the ref to Hollywood!
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!
My favorite Cloudy Bay video yet. Awesome production, great sailing content and in-depth tour of all the beauty of Anegada. Strong work as always.
Wow, thank you Peter. Have to say that we were quite happy with the way it turned out. Makes up for the rather lackluster ones of the past few weeks.
Delicious : what an interesting reference to anything related to sailing.
Bill, yes, isnt it just. And the sailing in this video really was jus that!
yup, awesome footage! wow! just wonder how many times I've past this island and never gave it a look....
Thanks Ray ...... Yep, for me it's the highlight of the BVIs.
Wow, that kite surfing...it looked awesome. The sailing was great too....
We agree, both good!
Just Amazing. Sailed these seas in 2013... trip of a lifetime! Your boat is beautiful!
How beautiful … thank you for sharing
I really do enjoy the Cloudy Bay sailing parts, the island experiences, seeing Whanna. ( I hope that's spelled right) she has a beautiful smile. Ok and seeing you Glen.
Thanks for sharing.
It's OK Eric, I know Oana and Cloudy Bay are the stars of this show :)
And I agree, her smile melts the heart.
I believe Cloudy just loves to get her lean on !!! She’s in her element for sure,thanks to a wonderful Captain ⛵️
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
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.
@@SailCloudyBay When did you get back? The other day I drove by Cloudy and saw no evidence of your presence.
Arrived Wednesday evening John. If the bike is under the boat, I'm on board. knock on the hull.... unless you hear snoring!
Spectacular
Thanks Doug, glad you enjoyed it. We think it's one of our better videos. As views seem to confirm
Spectacular sailing scenery 👍. Great video and memories of pre- 💩.
Thanks for your work on editing.
Our pleasure!
Thanks for the update! Lots of change in 20 years. Water as beautiful as ever!
20 years Ed, that about when I was last there too.
Beautiful footage guys, really nice to see the wide angle sailing views off the selfie stick and all the spots you discover!
You do have a beautiful boat. I have sailed that very same rout from Virgin Gorda to Anagada. Beauitful place we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in that same restaurant. We had an awesome snorkel in Loblolly Bay!
Yes, indeed it's a wonderful place to sail. The reason I guess it's so popular with charter yachts .... for both good and bad!
Nice geography lesson at 5 minute mark 👍🏻
Thanks, hope you got passed it without switching TV channel! ..... or falling asleep in class :)
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.
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.
Thanks for the lovely comment Jayne. So glad you enjoy them. More to come in the next few weeks, but this one was probably our best, we think (not meaning to put you off!)
I've been there twice, absolutely beautiful
Yep, it sure was. This was my second time too. But last time I didnt explore the island. Just stayed in the anchorage and ate lobster. Didnt realise what I was missing!
The problem is: life is too short.
We need an extension.
about 200 years@@SailCloudyBay
Brilliant kite surfing Glenn 👍
Thanks Ali, it was a wonderful place to kitesurf - magical.
Nice vid!
Loblolly is an old navy word for a thick gruel the matelots ate for brekkers !
Well, you learn something every day! Thanks Bert.
Such a nice memories revived by your video! Thank you C-Wolf
Sounds like you have been there Zoran. Then you'll certainly know it's a beautiful island.
Always nice to see you two :) ..
😊 thank you
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
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.
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.
Very nice to catch up with you again! My wife, the dog and I finally sailed my boat to the Bahamas for several months this winter from Florida. Thank you for the inspiration you helped instill watching your adventures here on TH-cam! Fair winds💪👌😊
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. If the Pacific is still not open by fall then we will ourselves do another winter south, seeing all the places in the Bahamas that we missed last time.
@@SailCloudyBay it was very easy to get in and around Bahamas! COVID just a minor annoyance 👌
Loved the sailing footage, what a powerful boat.....
Thank you :) We agree!
I love the sailing footage! Need more!
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 :)
Anegada is spectacular, great video, really enjoyed it, but I think Cloudy Bay steels the show as she’s such a great looking yacht. Looking forward to seeing some of your 2021 cruising.
Us too Matt, looking forward to getting out there in 2021 .... sometime!
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!!!
Glad you like them!
Where are you, are we going to enjoy more sailing videos soon?
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,
Yep, it was a tricky anchorage for us too, Michael.
Sher gut ,ich habe alle videos gesehen ,gute winde.⛵⛵⛵
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?
Ja, deine Videos sind sehr vollständig und je mehr Informationen, desto besser..
The echo ist an intersting sound effect
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 :)
nice yacht
Thanks Tim. We love her.
Damn brings back some good memories especially Loblollybay👏✌️
I bet it's the same for anyone who has visited Anegada, Chris. It sure is beautiful place.
Absolutely lovely film. Also the video became 10x more fun to watch after the “cooking bowl” comment-impossible to unsee haha. Thank you guys!
Glad you enjoyed it. We certainly were having fun on that island.
Wind waves no music bless ya
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.
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!
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 🇦🇺
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.
I'm thinking what are you doing in the prow, lol. capturing that fantastic footage is what.
and for sharing your maps and solving that Antilles mystery pour moi.
Ho c est beau tank you vidéo magnifique super
Merci Pierrot.
Great video
Thanks Kjel, glad you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the geography lesson. :)
Hope you paid attention. There will be a test later :)
All below is true. Cloudy bay is a unique experience. Amazing shootings with balanced video contents - all is smooth and pure enjoyment well conducted with no mess or depressing issues. Very very great job can't wait the next ep.! Just a bit too much ad... But thanks for sharing! Voilà!
Thanks Alex. Yes we did put quite a bit of effort into this one. and at the time we were feeling on-top-of-the-world :)
First time watching your videos. Love your format, it's different from other channels. Nice, keep them coming.
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.
@@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 😁
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!
Thanks for that lovely comment. It really was beautiul sailing that day.
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?
Thanks Peter. Yes, I'm back on Cloudy now. Finishing off the rig rebuild. Will be here for 6 weeks then back to Europe for the summer. Our plan is to launch and be heading south again in October.
excellent filmed) do more videos. boring without you. with warm greetings from cold russia)
thanks for the pleasure to watch)
Thanks for the compliment Paul. Hopefully there should not be any more long gaps in our video posting.
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!
Send me an email on sailcloudybay(at)gmail and I’ll send you a pic of our track to anchor and exact lat/long.
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!
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!
I just went and removed a bunch of ads. It was crazy - there were 15 ads there (automatically placed by UT).
For the longest while I wanted to know which Islands were Windwards, Leeward, Greater & Lesser Antilles. I sincearly appreciate how you historically & geographically expanded it. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment Rick. Glad you enjoyed it my geography lesson!
Very Nice..
Thanks Ting Tong.
Another great sailing (actual sailing) video. Much better than the monty python type sailing vids that are becoming too common these days.
Ha-ha! Thats a good name for them. Love it. Thanks for the compliment and glad you enjoyed the sailing scenes.
Hi Glen. Good to see Cloudy Bay sailing again. We did Anegeada some years back on a Bareboat Charter. A very special island. Watched your Maine videos as we are planning to sail there this summer. What size is your Genoa and is your new sail the same size? Dennis
Hi there Dennis! Great to hear from you. Our genoa is 130% and the new one is the same. A really powerful sail, especially just off the wind like we were in this video.
First time and I subscribed, don't do that often. Awesome editing and video EXCEPT, As a lifelong (I am 70, over 55 years on/in the water, Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, 20 as a licensed Merchant mariner Captain) can your lady handle the boat well enough if you get slapped of the bow by even a small rogue wave yo rescue you, while doing those selfies? Honestly...
Nope, not a chance .... I'd be heading to Davey's locker. See what I do for the viewers! :)
beautiful women and beautiful waters.
You're vids are like your ship; fuckin fantastic :-)
Thanks Ron .... a very Australian compliment :)
I didn't see any airstrip. How do the charters get their people there or is this just a stop-over? Great vid, thx 😉
There is a small airstrip there, but for the charter boats the island is just a stop over. All charters are taken out of the main island, Tortola.
Oana is a sweetheart how did you guys meet? cool video thanks.
I can confirm that David, .... she certainly is. We met at work 11 years ago, in Bucharest. www.sailcloudybay.com/about-us/
Was that you kite surfing?
fraid so Denise, yes me
.... ooh - glad you got that far in the video :)
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
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.
Thank you, beautiful boat, beautiful videos
And sorry for my ignorance on the flag, couldn’t really tell which one it was and it was late at night in Atlanta 😂
This is like the HD version of a Duran Duran video. Do you know which one?
No, I dont know which one. Please tell.
Hey guys I was wondering how you determine your nautical miles on your boat is it gps or some other device? Thanks Cheers
Brad, the answer is both. But the readout that we show on the video is from the log (speed transducer).
@@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.
@@SailCloudyBay thank you
only wish the scooter came equipped with a side car to match the helmets.
Thats interesting ... we have been discussing that we should get a bike with side car this summer.
can you tell me about the music?
Hans, The artist is Aljosha Konstanty. This piece we clipped from his Chill Cafe Music 2017. We pay him licence fee to use the track.
22.22???????
Just my silliness a bit out of control. Sorry. 😞
I hate to use a marijuana analogy..but...Cloudy Bay IS the " good shit". Always awesome and no munchies!
Hmmm Peter, watcha bin smonkin'? :)
@@SailCloudyBay Just an analogy Glen..excuse me..( cough).
Peter Torrey no offense taken Peter. My reply was jokey. :)
Lol...as was mine! The " cough" part was what happens after a hit of the " good" stuff. As Hendrix kind of said...you are not experienced! Love your vlog...the best visual, actual " sailing" vlog on the YT.
