Dealing well with a challenge when young, sets one up for an active life and any excitement it may bring. As my old school motto went: the best armament is the armament of experience. Optimum armamentarium experientiae. Life won't always be plain sailing, but a ready crew can bring you through. (A quote I saw written on a beautiful 45 ft Bavaria berthed at Auckland).
Thanks for the video. Looks like a pleasant time after the storm. I love watching Archie's launch on the kite with dad holding him up and letting him go.
A loose boat in a stormy harbor sure makes for a chaotic and exciting/terrifying situation! What a rough night, but at least you got through it. And Happy Days is always one good sail and turn of the weather away from a lovely scene. Cape Lookout was a good choice. Looks like it's time now to unpack the Winter clothes...
My wife and I just discovered your beautiful family on your channel! Beaufort is our fave places as we leave about 2-3 hours inland in Rocky Mount on the Tar river. Shackleford banks straight across from Beaufort is home to banker ponies that survived Spanish shipwrecks thanks to Blackbeard the pirate. Keep on trucking mate!
The storm and winds that your family had to deal with were so treacherous! I'm glad everyone is safe and no contact between the sailing crafts happened! 🙏🏻🤗😎👍🤗😇❣️
Not sure if you guys are able to do it or not but if you could get into the Great Lakes you'd see some amazing shoreline, especially if you made it all the way up into Lake Superior. Just avoid them in the autumn, the lakes actually being inland seas and all. Superior is mighty wicked in November and Lake Michigan is no joke, either.
We looked at this route and talked to folks doing just that but for us with limited time on the visa and the hassle of removing the mast we decided against it.
Electrical storms have to be very scary on a boat. I live in a long home in the Central Oregon Cascades. I do love a good storm here but summer electrical storms often bring wildfires. This summer we had four small wildfires within 10 miles of our home in one week. In the past 30 years we have only had one wildfire that close before.
Good luck rounding "The Graveyard of the Atlantic!" (Hatteras) I don't know where you are in real time, but I hope you are safe from Ophelia. I live on the Chesapeake Bay and we have quite a bit of storm surge and chop right now.
I was thinking bout you guys looking for a video yesterday. I wake up with one you guys are a rock solid family unit I love it and yall. Glad yall are fine and dandy
Sailing looks enjoyable until the big storms come. FWIW there’s a company along the East coast called Sea Tow (there may be others) that a boater can buy a membership from and they will respond when the boat breaks down, runs around, etc. Sea Tow may have been involved in that incident.
😂 has she been reading 20000 leagues under the sea?! We have spotted some strange things - sun fish, amphibious vehicles and a submarine but no kraken yet 😉
Since your viewers have less visibility than you do in the anchorage during the storm, it would be helpful to show it in daylight the next morning. I hope you were just tired saying you were leaving, not knowing. The graveyard of the Atlantic isn't the place to not do your inadvance research. Beautiful family, surfing, and kiting. 👌
Noted on the daylight footage. Yes the captain was tired and the couple of days at Cape Lookout gave us time to consider the next passage more closely.

Amazing! Going to put this in my journal 😀

Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Groovy and exciting episode.
Thank you 😊

Yep, time for warmer clothes for sure!

Welcome! Thanks for jumping on the journey 😀
So glad you made it through the storm ok. Always good to enjoy the beautiful days with your family!!❤️
Thank you 😊

Yes it was! We’re glad it was not worse too. 😊
That area is known for afternoon storms. Beautiful scenery. I loved living in North Carolina
It is a beautiful area despite the storms.
Were all three kites the family? Guessing you had the place to yourselves and dad was splashing one of the kids with the kite board 😃
Yes all three kites were our family. Dad and two of the kids 😊
As a southerner, I can tell you, the forecast every day in the American southeast from April to October is: hot, humid, and a chance of storms.
Yes we learnt that fairly quickly 😌

Really enjoyed watching!
Thank you 😊
Sure have missed ya all. Glad you're still finding fun between storms. Safe travels, Bless you ALL
Thanks so much
Welcome from Louisiana! Glad that you are here!
Thank you!!
I remember when you where in Beaufort. I was looking forward to seeing the video! I enjoyed many a weekend at Cape Lookout growing up! It’s paradise!
It is a little paradise on the East Coast! We’re so glad we stopped there. You must have some great memories 😊
Good stuff showing how it really is glad you are safe
Thanks 👍
Glad you made it through the storm. Great kiting . ❤
Thank you!

Yikes. That’s a bit close for comfort. You’ll enjoy the respite from the fires over winter then.

We are out of harms way and not on the East Coast. Stay safe in the Chesapeake 😊

Hope you enjoyed the Outer Banks, they get will storms.

It’s quite possible one of the companies was sea tow 👍
Faith (9yrs old) wants to know if you’ve seen anything Kraken like or anything “suspicious” at sea. She is a big fan!
😂 has she been reading 20000 leagues under the sea?! We have spotted some strange things - sun fish, amphibious vehicles and a submarine but no kraken yet 😉
Adrift and abandoned it becomes salvage. Or a big recovery bill for the owner.
It was such a lovely boat and was still floating so hopefully just a towage bill for that owner 😊
Geez your kids are gonna handle anything life brings
Building resilience for sure!
