I did pray for you guys. Sometimes we don't know why the good Lord's grace falls the way it does. You are blessed!😊

What a relief. Latrell was worried sick about our boat. We know sailboats that didn’t make it. We are getting ready for the Bahamas !

[@svthecrookedanchor]

@@SVFresh2Salty thanks, we're hoping to make Bahamas by mid February

Glad you made it through safely. It was quite a blow here in Clermont so I can just imagine what hit the Crooked Anchor that night. Keep up the good videos. Love watching.

@@wmmoran thanks, we enjoy making them

You guys did a great job of keeping her safe. My friend in Bradenton took damage to his Lani but house was fine. Sounds like you are right in that area and it was a hell of a storm.

[@svthecrookedanchor]

@@sv.alannah yea, the are here was hit hard.

Happy to see You alive and kicking. I believe You are right... it can´t get much worse. Comparing the damage in the neighborhood and than I look inside Your boat.... makes me think it might be much safer on the boat then in a house on shore when You use the right formula to deal with the dynamics. And the solar panels ?? Well, that was to be expected. You already knew that was the weakest spot on the boat. What would be more of concern. You mentioned a chainplate pulled loose.? Thinking about it after Your experience...Instead of making this whole solar structure thing stronger today I would opt for much lighter and easy to remove for stowing away down below. Take a close look at the BougeRV CIGS flexible panels. There is plenty of good info on YTube. With 650$ definitely on the expensive side but if You add it all up it might be cheaper. Sometimes they are on sale at 450$. Well, I am sure You come up with something. Take care❤.
