Nice video. Thanks.

Wow. So exciting. I was in the navy for 4 years and miss the sea. My dream is to one day live aboard a sailboat like this.

great advice
lugar ideal para observar los huracanes. Tenga cuidado en algunos lugares hay cocodrilos de agua salada.
Hello from Penetang Ontario .We have yet to buy a boat and love your vids and plan to cruise the Bahamas. How many of these storms might we see between December and March. PS we here you are at the boatshow today but just got back from Mexico :)
If I were facing an impending tropical storm or hurricane, I’d look for a hurricane hole in which to tie off my sailboat to mangroves (regardless if doing so is illegal, such as in the Florida Keys).

Also, it seems to me that a hurricane hole is less subject to high winds than the wide open bay seen in your video, which has a lot of fetch to build wind and waves.
Thanks guys, good and early preparations make all the difference.
Nice boat!
Really like that dark wood on the exterior.
You guys have a nice boat
Interesting video, well put together.
awesome video!
nice docu-vid it was educational and entertaining.
I love the informational style! Reminds me of The Life Aquatic, with less Bill Murray.
Hey guys. What a great video. Well done.
Thanks Nice Job!
Insightful. Thanks.

How to secure your boat for a tropical storm. We film the process as we anchor and tie up in a mangrove in Martinique. Then we film as the approaching storm passes right over us with winds nearly 60 knots. We are testing both our Rocna anchor and our Fortress anchors.
