Hurricane Strategies for Sailors
If you ever worry about what it would be like to be hit by a hurricane or tropical storm on your boat, this video will answer a lot of your questions. Paul and I have gone through several named storms throughout our 30 years of cruising so, using video footage from our own experiences as well as others, we cover how and when hurricanes are formed, how to track them and strategies for weathering named storms on your boat in a marina, tied to a mangrove or hauled out in a boat yard. We also discuss insurance coverage for hurricane season.Aground! Shallow Water Piloting in the Bahamas

Surviving a Hurricane- we just put up a video on strategies for sailors on YouTube. Have you ever been in a bad storm?
A beer got in the way of my sunset shot 😎 English autumn sunset after a stormy day on the south coast. There’s a near gale blowing squalls over but the sailing season continues here a couple more months😅. These pics are at Lymington Yacht Haven one of the nicest marinas in the UK where boats can stay in the water year round. It’s also the home of the new Discovery Yachts sales office. A great photo commission boats since it’s so easy so get out sailing despite the tide and you’re also right at one of the nicest sailing areas. Has anyone sailed UK 🇬🇧 or dreamed of coming here?

Whew! 😅 We just posted a new video, “BVI Update and Offshore Passage to the Turks and Caicos”. It’s been over a year since Hurricane Irma hit the British Virgin Islands and we sailed there to get an update on the recovery and enjoy some great sailing before making a 3-day offshore passage to the Turks and Caicos Islands. What a gorgeous sail that was!! Link in bio. #distantshorestv #hurricane #hurricaneirma #turksandcaicoas #offshoresailing #caribbeansailing
