Two Awesome people right there.....taking the time to shelter the dog in the middle of your situation speaks volumes of your characters....bless you both ❤
It made me soo sad when you had to leave that dog. Then, you found it a forever home. Thank you sooooo much. You two are good people. Good karma your way for sure. Fred.
Billy is a legend! Staying calm and motivated throughout (that's what you showed us) and using all his past experience to keep his family safe. Cheers man! As it turned out you made the right decisions. Wow.
Great to ya'll made it through Beryl. The morning after the hurricane, a few weeks ago, Adventure Crew was filming and showed a shot of your boat and mention you made it out good. God Bless and be safe
Textbook! I can't argue with a single decision you two made. Truly textbook decision making. Then throw a dog rescue in the mix!!!! You three are the greatest. Looking forward to another Tula Hurricane shirt. LOVE that this one helps the animals! Cheers and looking forward to the debrief!
Sierra, we all thank you so much for your love and care of Ruby. If there is anything we can do to HELP those in need, please let us know. Best episode on Utube Sailing, truly unbelievable. God Bless!
God bless you both for being such good people. I didn't understand why you went down there during hurricane season but I do now. So glad you found Ruby a home and are helping the locals. You were sent there for a bigger purpose and to make a difference and you have. Looking forward to your updates.
So glad you made it through. I was a commercial fisherman in my younger days and know all too well what you went through. Being from B.C. Canada we didn't get actual hurricanes with tornado like patterns but 70 to 80 knot winds gusting to 100 are almost as bad and we usually had no place to hide. I remember one storm we rode out on the north end of the Queen Charlotte islands. We anchored off of Tow Hill with tow anchors. That storm was so bad we literally dragged both hooks a whole mile from the west to the east. The Capt. said he'd never dragged that much in his thirty years fishing. It was very scary. Being a dog person I really felt your pain Sierra. Ruby was so lucky you seen her in the water and rescued her or she likely would not have made it. I so wish I could help the cause but being on disability I can't spare even 5 bucks. But what you've done for her buys you a special place in heaven. God bless you both.
Crazy world. Beryl eye hit 28 miles from my mother’s house near Houston Texas. They lost power for several days. I live in Oregon and the stress you felt is the stress I felt realizing it’s gunna hit my mother’s house 83 yrs old and no power in Texas heat and humidity. Scared her to death, but she survived. My heart goes out to those affected. ❤. P. S. Thank you for saving the dog😊. God takes care of those who take care of others❤.
yup we saw winds nearing 90 MPH taking down trees and poles, we did not expect a near direct hit so our windows were uncovered. I am glad your mother was alright in the end as well.
Great job.. good on you for helping everyone, including the dog... I'm looking forward to the debrief.. tough call going south across the storm.. I believe you made the right call..
Sierra being upset, upsets me. 😭 From my point of view you are pretty spot on. I'm thankful you are safe. I look forward to the debriefing. Thanks for sharing.
@@Steve-qn8gn I feel for Billy , definitely something I would do, and my wife would be right, and the next time it would be a very similar situation, and she’d be right again🤷♂️
Sierra, you are so blessed to have Billy. He is so knowledgeable and capable. As your surrogate mother, I am incredibly nervous but happy that you have each other. I pray that you will be safe. Sending love to you both from LIZ in California.🥰⛵️😘🇺🇸💪🏻💜
I have been so eagerly waiting for this episode. So glad you all were okay and of course you helped everyone (pup included) all around you. Your ability to stay calm and decisive in such times is a wonderful blessing. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
Awww Ciara I just want to hug you 🤗 I'm cuddling with my puppy and hubby watching, such high emotions... Thank you so much for saving that pretty girl 🐕 God bless y'all
What an amazing video you both have produced. You handled that issue so well and have been so prepared to handle this huge situation. Very very impressed. Such an intense and well done the pair of you
I think you guys are awesome of all the things your doing for the island/country that was hit by the hurricane for the donations for supporting them and also thank you for saving the pretty doggy
Of course they want him for the job. How wonderful and courageous for you to see it’s not the right time. You’ve invested your time in supporting your family. Best of luck!!
Briliant just loved your observations in relation to where you were at amy point along the journey. Great trip, hadf it all, exciting and engoyable and interesting.. keep em comming.
I am very sad. I spent 2 weeks in the Grenadines in June 2000 on a 200+ ft. Tall Ship, had many great times in the Grenadines. Great to see you all survived it. Sail On.
Riding out record-breaking Hurricane Beryl on your catamaran in the Grenada mangroves showcases incredible courage and resilience. Your ability to stay calm and navigate through such intense conditions is truly commendable. This experience undoubtedly highlights the strength and determination that define your journey. And I am Floating Village Life.
You two are a very nice, thoughtful and rational couple. Many people would've been too overwhelmed by the circumstances to even notice, or think about taking in a stray in that situation. "Woof, woof" to you. Having healthy boundaries and limits is very important to have in order to live another day. Fair winds....💙🇺🇸
I learned so much watching this and greatly appreciate the way you've shared much of the journey and decision-making process. Everything on a boat is super safe right up until it's not! ;-) Well done you two and I look forward to your next video!
Incredible proud of u both, so glad ur both very talented mature people and used that knowledge to be safe. Sierra ur a wonderful human being to rescue the dog, she looked very frightened and the look in her eyes when she was watching u, said so much. Ur legends 🇦🇺👍
so happy you guys did well in the hurricane . We sent funds for the dog clinic. So happy you both care enough to do this. Love you guys and will be here waiting on the next video. Much love from Switzerland.
Thankfully you guys were safe ❤ that poor dog hope her legs will recover glad she has a home now ❤ I wouldn’t have had the heart to leave her but hope she will be ok.thanks for trying to help her and keep posting ❤
Luck favors the well prepared which you guys demonstrated in this event and the turnout was way better than I thought it would be with a Cat 4. Well done you two.
I was so concerned and had some foresight that you were headed straight for storm. Of course I was watching the travels after the fact with the knowledge of what had transpired down there in Grenada. I am so glad that you did so well and I will be watching the weather and perhaps wondering where you are in real time. I am glad all worked out.
I have been waiting for this episode. Since you announced where you were heading and the weather folks announced the hurricane, I started praying for you. I am so glad you guys are safe. GOD BLESS YOU.
I absolutely love watching your videos every week! Thank you so much. I really wish you guys would have on safety gear especially when you’re all by your lonesome on watch. I would hate to read that one of you disappeared. Many years ago, I did a circumnavigation 2 1/2 times on a 25 m motor sailor. Back then we didn’t have all of the incredibly wonderful electronics like you have today. We were lucky thave a weather fax machine that came through on the single side band radio. It certainly didn’t have The wind like you have on your computer screen and if you were lucky, the whole forecast came through. Most of the time he managed to get blasted by weather all the time. Anyway, thank you once again I’m glad you guys are all safe. As always, looking forward to the next one.
This was probably the best and most exciting video you have ever posted. I'm so glad that Ruby has a home and of course that you came through Beryl safely!
Les saints is stunning! Was there in 2015 on a stop off, hired a moped and toured the island. Napoleons fort was awesome! And some great beaches and food too
REALLY really enjoyed this long-form video. More of these, please! Storytelling is such a great thing when done right, and you guys did it RIGHT! Keep it up, and SO glad y’all are safe!
Billy, what wonderful hob you did keeping Sierra and the sailing boat community in your harbor location safe. Sierra don't sell yourself short. You did great.
The sincerity of both of you and just have so much respect for you you love dogs like I do I have a rescue Malinois from the California wildfires 4 years ago I have a heart for animals and dogs and I just thank you for what you're doing and both of you are just such lovely lovely lovely people may God just bless you and watch over you
So happy you are safe and that you helped Ruby find a home. I could feel your heart break at having to leave her on the dock. I love both of your generosity, you are heroes in my eyes. Dx
Great episode showing us all the details, I really enjoyed it. One suggestion I would make if you don’t mind is don’t seek shelter next to a hard structure such as that bridge next time. That’s usually what breaks your boat, instead surround yourself of as much mangroves as you can, they are really good at cushioning and usually with the storm surge you end up slightly over them.
@@johnluke3425 Tell that to the people that lost everything and the few that lost their lives. Praying to a make believe supreme being and believing it'll actually help anything naïve at best. According to your belief system it's all according to "his plan" so you believe praying is going to change his plan ?
I'm glad to know you guys are safe. When you make a decision at that late stage, prepare yourselves and stick by the decision. You are a blessed couple and you shared it with others. Well done. God Bless.
A lot of lore and experience created the 'luck'. You guys make good decisions based on available information and Billy's prep in the anchorage highlighted his depth of knowledge. Well done guys
Hello Tula, one of the best ch for hurricane/storms weather in the Carribean is Mr Weatherman. He is a professional weatherman out of Orlando but, also has the excellent ch with over 500k. He goes into great detail about the hurricanes forming & where they are headed.
Firstly I love your videos. Great job. Secondly, it is so difficult to make those decisions but making them with the best info you can get helps. Getting to the south of the Hurricane was the right decision in my mind. Unfortunately, we were back home in Canada with our Catamaran on the hard in Tyrell Bay Marina on Carriacou Island. She was a heavy boat (Lagoon 421) tied down to concrete blocks and yet she was picked up and thrown 30 feet into the haulout slipway and destroyed. We have had messages from local friends who have also lost everything and they really need help but amazingly are still so positive. Thank you for your support of the local community.
Nice team effort getting thru a scary storm. Billy & Sierra have become seasoned sailors and handled a difficult situation like pro's. Billy was born to be on the Sea 🌊.
Thank God that the crew of Laura Sue stayed safe - you guys are such great sailors. Thank you for sharing and caring about those around you. The world would be better with more salts like you, Sierra & Billy. Godspeed and God Bless. Remember to VOTE‼️ 💙🇺🇸💚👍😇
@@deerfootnz totally agree, I live in Australia, we have the equivalent season for what we call Cyclones. I was always taught you never ever stay in an area prone to clyclones during that season. It is neither prudent or professional do stay in these areas. In fact its downright stupid. (unless you live in the area). I see so many of these youtubers staying on their boats during a hurricane. Just stupid and dangerours.
@@erichegel4109 ironic that there was no one making any derogatory comments until you made this comment. What's even the point of making political comments on a TH-cam video of this nature anyways? Wild times we live in.
Wow, that was a very rare and fierce storm right at the beginning of hurricane season. I am so glad you were able to tuck back into a mangrove channel out of the major wind and heavy seas. Of all the sailing channels I watch, you give me the most confidence in your seamanship and experience to protect your boat and your family from the worst mother nature can dish out. Even Ruby dog stayed safe. Well done! As I am sure you figured out, mangroves make excellent anchor points in a storm and are a lot more secure than a hastily deployed anchor into an unknown, possibly muddy, grassy, fouled bottom. Five to six lines deployed on all points to very solid mangrove trees have been the best protection for Caribbean sailors for centuries. By staying onboard you were able to adapt and adjust as conditions changed, and were prepared if needed to fend off a loose boat adrift in the anchorage. Looking forward to your debrief vid. Cheers all around!
Thank God you guys are safe!! I could feel the anxiety and stress... After watching your video, I looked at some others showing the complete destruction and chaos on the island just a few kilometres north where you guys were. You were protected...
Hey u 2! We're in Norfolk and watched Beryl hit Carriacou on live feed via Utube. We knew u guys were headed that way... We were worried for u guys, but uve posted 2 vids since the storm so we knew that u'd made it. Thank goodness.
This episode is priceless! I don't know where I'd go to find such detailed documentation about riding out a hurricane on a sailboat. The decision making in the face of wild uncertainty! Sierra was the more visibly stressed but I'm sure Billy was experiencing high anxiety too. Both of you kept moving forward through it all and you made it! I recognize that luck played a part too and I'm glad to have more Tula video to look forward to. And little Beryl the dog shows up to top it all off! Thanks you guys!
Glad you are all safe! That can be scary, especially in an anchorage where you can see others are not at all anchored correctly. Glad the pup found a home!
We are on our 42’ trawler and weather is always a concern, we are spending hurricane season in Jacksonville Florida and praying for the hurricanes to stay away! Safe travels!
Sierra, you are such a girl after my own heart I’m so glad you took care of Ruby and she has a home now. That would’ve been rich to have to leave her. Also, I think what you guys have done is absolutely extraordinary for all the animals. You and Billy are legends. I’m so grateful that you both are Ok jetty OK. Love you guys. 😘 surrogate mom, LIZ in California
Watching this after the fact is really hard to do. I saw the damage it did , for instance Carriacou Island ! Absolutely horrendous, and so far south ! But, it did go north of you, I'm confident that you'll be ok. Now to figure out what happened with the doggy you rescued. She might have been in some sort of accident ? So happy that you went as far south as you did, you were right on the edge !
Billy and Sierra and such wonderful souls..The world could use more of them. They deserve all of God's good grace.... cheers sail safely 😊
❤❤❤❤
Two Awesome people right there.....taking the time to shelter the dog in the middle of your situation speaks volumes of your characters....bless you both ❤

So glad you kids got through this! Never worry about the Could Have , Should Haves or Would haves. They are all history! Thanks for the videos .
As the old saying goes, “I’d rather be lucky than smart any day” Glad you guys made it… bless you for helping that poor dog!
IF you cant be SMART be LUCKY (it sometimes pays to be Lucky than smarter < MURPHY is involved in that saying)
Great to ya'll made it through Beryl. The morning after the hurricane, a few weeks ago, Adventure Crew was filming and showed a shot of your boat and mention you made it out good. God Bless and be safe
What a great team you two are - Nobody preps like Sierra and Billy is definitely the guy you want around during a crisis. Well done you two! 🙌

That is why I sail north during Caribbean hurricane season. Done with that stress.
To where ? The storms generally head north after they're done with the Caribbean, sometimes all the way to Atlantic Canada
Close one guys! I love the compassion you have for the animals. So glad it worked out for Rose. 🐬

What an amazing video you both have produced. You handled that issue so well and have been so prepared to handle this huge situation. Very very impressed. Such an intense and well done the pair of you
Thank God you were ok. Great job with Ruby ❤
Best video you guys have put out in a long time.....30 years in the coast guard dodging storms like that. I felt everything you felt. Well done

Nice work, Sierra & Billy. You're the best!

Of course they want him for the job. How wonderful and courageous for you to see it’s not the right time. You’ve invested your time in supporting your family. Best of luck!!
Excellence with empathy. Perfect - well done lovely humans

Gosh... you two are the most genuine and nicest sailing crew on YT. You are an inspiration.
The storm hit most of the cruise ships ports we go to in the Caribbean. I just relax when I can’t control the weather. I trust in God to care for me.
I am very sad. I spent 2 weeks in the Grenadines in June 2000 on a 200+ ft. Tall Ship, had many great times in the Grenadines. Great to see you all survived it. Sail On.

So thankful you are safe. Sorry to see all the damage around the islands. Hope they will be able to recover soon. Take care. 💖⛵🐬🏝️🌅
Glad you are safe.
I saw some post footage immediately after Beryl from Granada and the islands. Sad. Total destruction.
I was so concerned and had some foresight that you were headed straight for storm. Of course I was watching the travels after the fact with the knowledge of what had transpired down there in Grenada.

Many years ago, I did a circumnavigation 2 1/2 times on a 25 m motor sailor. Back then we didn’t have all of the incredibly wonderful electronics like you have today. We were lucky thave a weather fax machine that came through on the single side band radio. It certainly didn’t have The wind like you have on your computer screen and if you were lucky, the whole forecast came through. Most of the time he managed to get blasted by weather all the time.

After watching your video, I looked at some others showing the complete destruction and chaos on the island just a few kilometres north where you guys were.
You were protected...
Hey u 2!
We're in Norfolk and watched Beryl hit Carriacou on live feed via Utube. We knew u guys were headed that way...
We were worried for u guys, but uve posted 2 vids since the storm so we knew that u'd made it.
Thank goodness.
This episode is priceless! I don't know where I'd go to find such detailed documentation about riding out a hurricane on a sailboat. The decision making in the face of wild uncertainty! Sierra was the more visibly stressed but I'm sure Billy was experiencing high anxiety too. Both of you kept moving forward through it all and you made it! I recognize that luck played a part too and I'm glad to have more Tula video to look forward to. And little Beryl the dog shows up to top it all off! Thanks you guys!
Great job on this video guys! It was nice to see it from someone else's perspective and thankful we could safely ride out the storm together. ❤
Glad you are all safe! That can be scary, especially in an anchorage where you can see others are not at all anchored correctly. Glad the pup found a home!
We are on our 42’ trawler and weather is always a concern, we are spending hurricane season in Jacksonville Florida and praying for the hurricanes to stay away! Safe travels!
You make your safest choice for you always. Your life is always more important than money
Sierra, you are such a girl after my own heart I’m so glad you took care of Ruby and she has a home now. That would’ve been rich to have to leave her. Also, I think what you guys have done is absolutely extraordinary for all the animals. You and Billy are legends. I’m so grateful that you both are Ok jetty OK. Love you guys. 😘 surrogate mom, LIZ in California
You guys are an inspiration on so many levels! Your parents did real good. Be safe.
Thank God you made it through fine! Sierra, I was stressing just watching you. Billy and Sierra, Great job!!
Watching this after the fact is really hard to do. I saw the damage it did , for instance Carriacou Island ! Absolutely horrendous, and so far south ! But, it did go north of you, I'm confident that you'll be ok. Now to figure out what happened with the doggy you rescued. She might have been in some sort of accident ? So happy that you went as far south as you did, you were right on the edge !
Guys, I'm so relieved that you made it through. You need to thank our Lord and Master for His help!!!!!!
