Perhaps you have heard these comments before ? 1) I would put the longer section of line on the shorter chain. 2) Take down your Bimini in anything more than 40 knots wind. I cruised a 42' sloop for 24 years. Enjoy / Good Luck.
@@adventureswithashley- the way to get past being a nervous wreck is to get out there and get experience. Go to seminars at boat shows to learn how to manage the yacht, read books, read articles on sailing websites
That went pretty well, you guys all snug and safe in your little ark. Looks like we were both pleased with Milton's southern bend, but still pretty bad (in Lake County).
That was pretty wild. I've been 11:21 through hurricane force winds twice on a sailboat. Well over a hundred miles an hour both times. I was tied up to the dock both times and it was still pretty exciting. 😮
How did the dingy handle it .Did you take the motor off it , did you teather it directly to the main boat or was it ok on the long line. If you are faced with a stronger one you may need to take down the biminy . Be active dont be passive make your self do things so you stay safe you and your children are precious.May God keep you safe.
Thank you. The dinghy does good with a long line, but we took it out of the water for Milton. Our bimini, sadly, did rip during this storm, so we ended up taking it down for the next one. Stay tuned for that footage, coming soon!
@JohnRyan-f2n It's not for TH-cam. We are real-life people who have real-life experiences. We share our story on TH-cam mainly because this lifestyle is unique. Some people will never understand, but we are happy to share a true version of what it's like to sell everything and move aboard a sailboat with your family, not just the sunshine and rainbows. 😊
No one was in danger. The hurricane was on the other side of the peninsula, hundreds of miles away. Harbor was well protected. Plenty of ground tackle. They watched a movie on TV, ate popcorn.
What size anchors are you using?as a boat guy myself I would never see myself in a position where I could lose my property without having a good idea of finding a place for the secure my vessel down so I’m asking you some advice if removing the boat from the water wasn’t possible
We were using two 35-Ib Bruce anchors for this hurricane. We ended up getting a 45-Ib Rocna for Helene though. Stay tuned for that setup in an upcoming video.😊
Riding out a hurricane in a small boat always makes for an action-packed episode(the popcorn makes it even cooler)🌬🌬🌬🌊🌧🌩🌪 🍿 👍
why did you leave the Bimini up in the storm? All the added windage.. I removed my boom and put it on deck.
@mailbagps We definitely should have. We removed it for Milton after learning our lesson during Helene.

Glad you survived but I would not have risked my kids lives just for TH-cam
