    With every challenge comes knowledge.
    With every test comes trust in your abilities.
    With every victory, confidence of your boat's abilities brings security.
    Another step in your adventure...

    Amazing boat show! You guys aren't having any luck with the storms, great anchoring though. She's a tough old girl that Hughes.
    Safe journey , can't wait for the next video! Good job on the paddle board !

    Great episode! Tim seems to make very sound decisions even if tackling a new situation. His sailing experience shows too. I enjoy watching your partnership and bond for each other, you are a truly lucky couple. :)

      As the first mate - I agree 100%. Tim did a phenomenal job planning out our holding grounds. Had I not felt safe, I never would have gotten the minimal sleep that I did. Maybe that doesn’t matter, but I think that it does. Huge kudos to Tim. My Captain, my Soul. ❤️🍻

    Great video, and nice anchoring job! I was on my boat in a slip on Back Creek in Solomons during Michael, and the wind speed at times was close to 50 knots---was feeling badly for anyone at anchor during that blow. Your Rocna and Bruce anchors did a good job for you Thursday night, but I hope things work out regarding your Mantus sponsorship. Magnolia's primary anchor is a 55 lb. Mantus, and we love it!

    I have done something very similar to this, years back. I can feel the tension, and the work involved with properly setting and retrieving heavy boat holding grade anchors. You did not show the bloody mud cleaning off process for those puppies - but I bet they were a real mess, and stinky. Still, you did a man's job of captaining. I'd ship with you anywhere. Kudos mate!

    Great episode. Keep up the good work. I concur with the Bahamas mooring that the first commentor mentioned. Since I saw the remnants of Michael here in VA I was mostly worried you were going to loose a cockpit cushions. Bring those bad boys inside and they will be nice and dry in the morning. Any chance you guys are in Deltaville this weekend?

    • @LadyKSailing
      @LadyKSailing  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cushions were already wet by the time we thought to bring them in. We’re currently in the Dismal Swamp Canal. Already passed Deltaville. 😕

    Started watching you from Colorado a few days back. Love your channel. Mostly because you don't pretend to 'know what ya don't know'. Glad your safe! Love Canada too, been up into the NWT's and the greeters up there weren't nearly as friendly as you guys! They shredded our tent, attacked us and Ate My HAT... lol but all is good, my trained sea bass will give you a pass. Have fun and live my dream too.

    Great video I like your play by play check ins... Seems like you found the safest place to be in that storm... It had to of been a nerve racking night out there... I've live through a few bad tornadoes in my time, but them are over and done with in a short time. Were as a hurricane winds hang on for hours on end. I doubt that I'll ever be in one of them seeing I don't live any where they hit. And don't plan on being around any.. I praise God y'all got through it in good shape... Be blessed... BBE..

    S/V Bright Eyes again. I see that you have a MD series Volvo Penta. When I retired from Volvo Trucks they gave me a proto-type D-55 engine and Reverse gear, but I had to write every other month an engineering report for 2 years, now that is over with. I like your vedio because it shows that stuff you have to do just to keep going, the good, bad, and the ugly . Keep it up!Any time you need some advice.... just ask. been underway for almost 20 years on BE now have almost 5000 hrs on my Volvo

    Hi, thanks for posting. Glad you had a good time at the show! Looks like you did not look at boats much or not film, I don't like looking at new boats much, trying to decide if 3 or 4 drinks holders is a good idea is just frustrating! Good to see you found a hole to hide from 'Micheal storm' . I was worried about you being on 2 opposing anchors not allowing you to swing to the wind but it seemed to work out just fine. Being in the dark had to have been difficult as your reference points disappeared......unless you had some gps positioning device. Did your buddy boat friends find somewhere else? Are they going south too? It always fun knowing there's somebody doing the similar as you to share experiences with.

      Hey thanks for the comment. Naw we didn’t look at any boats at the show. They’re all sorta the same and we don’t love them. Yes our buddy boat was close by and had their own adventure. They’re safe. Headed down the ICW now!

    You really need some chafing protection on those anchor rodes, especially where it passes through the the fairlead chock. Also, attached a float (fender) via some lighter line to the front of the anchor. You don't want to much slack in this line. It will help you keep track of your position it the wind is shifting you around. It will also help you when pulling up the anchor from a 2 anchor set using the dinghy. Last if you decide to release the stern anchor because the wind is on you beam, you can recover it later,
    If you are going to leave the solar panels up I would put some wide nylon webbing over them and secure them to somewhere in the cockpit.
    I hope you removed the outboard from the dinghy and stowed it below. If you had the time, I would have deflated the dinghy and lashed it to the deck.

    Now that you are more experienced, have years of practice ever since… would you do this anchoring the same way as 3 years ago? Change anything?

    I'm a few years behind lol. I don't know if you get into why you're doing the Great Loop clockwise instead of counterclockwise in a later episode ... but why are you going clockwise? I thought the winds and tides were better counterclockwise

  • @snakeplisken4278
    @snakeplisken4278 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Here's something to do differently next time. After you secure the stern anchor, walk the end to the bow and tie a rolling hitch to the main bow rode, then slack off on the bow rode about 15-20 feet (enough to clear the keel). Now you are basically free to swing in 360 degrees around your own virtual mooring and always presenting the bow to the wind. It really works well for us. Also setup some old fire-hose for chafe protection has needed. You can even use your Mantus Bridle on the main chain but just make sure the stern rode is at a depth where it found foul the keel. We have a 45 lbs Mantus working anchor and a 105lbs Mantus storm anchor for out 35 foot boat. I also got an FX stern anchor for kedging off when running aground. Technically its better to figure eight coil the rode on deck, then put the anchor in the dinghy and it will pay out as you move to the anchor drop spot and you will not have to estimate/guess the distance since its already tied to the main boat. Glad someone told me about it so thought I would share.

    • @jackpatteeuw9244
      @jackpatteeuw9244 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like your idea, but doesn't the stern anchor rode then rub along keel a lot ? All chain bow rode could be shorter than what Lady K currently has.

    The "cycles" you felt are actually "bands" the swirls around the eye that spiral out hundreds of miles. I don't understand how you kept your dingy from sinking. Usually a hurricane can fill one of those in a matter of an hour or so. I know you never got a hurricane but it looked like you got quite a bit of rain and your boat looked empty.

    • @LadyKSailing
      @LadyKSailing  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Between Tim and I, we bailed out the dinghy several times. That rain held no mercy.

    S?V Bright Eyes. I highly recommed you never let deep cycle wet cell batteries get below 50% because it shorten the life of the batteries. In my house battery back I have 16 6 volt T-105, yes that is over kill but I run my AC at night on batteries, BE is only a 37 ft dubble ender. but has a 38,000 displacement., deffently a SLOW boat but stable
