Well we thought we were sailing away from the storm or at least into a safer area, but we wound up sailing directly into the eye of what was supposed to be a Hurricane. However, thankfully Tropical Storm Bret wound up staying a tropical storm, but was 5 mph away from becoming a full fledged Hurricane as it made landfall in the Caribbean right over St. VIncent. Follow along on our 3 day journey down the Eastern Caribbean to “safety”, as we prep for, and ride out the second named storm of the season, and it’s still June! Cindy is right behind it…
Thank you!!

Glad you made it with that horrible storm, that's the huge problem in sailing high risk against storm and big waves, and sea sick, but your boat is tough, old boats are durable than new one's actually 👍

Yes indeed, be proud of yourselves, few do venture this far. I have been to Bequia and anchored at the same spot where you were, However I moved NE closer to town to avoid the swell coming in the bay. I was anchored in Carriacou when Bret went thru and I there was high winds only Saturday morning till noon. You took the right decision to come down south to avoid the worst of the storm. Cheers, Richard

You took that pretty well. I understand about Tanner's stress. We were on a passage like that one time, and my wife kept taking pictures of the waves we were in, saying, "I'm going to send these to my mother, you're trying to kill me!" One of those passages, where the whole time you're thinking, "The second we get to port, we're putting this boat for sale!" They you finally get there, get a good night's sleep and you're sitting in the cockpit drinking coffee and thinking, 'That really wasn't that bad."

Wow hitting a wave reminded me of a time I was fishing along the coast of Western Australia , when my mate told me to never take your eye of the sea in front of you .here we were fishing in about 40 feet of water no wind flat calm water , after being in the same spot for about two hours when all of a sudden out of nowhere is this wave about 60 foot high thundering towards us I yelled out to my mate get your line in I started the outboard and went flat out up this wave almost stalled the motor the top of the wave was frothing white there was nothing behind the wave it was a sheer point the boat crashed over the wave I looked-up and there was another wave coming my mate was white as a ghost hanging on for dear life again going flat out up the second wave the first wave crashed behind us with a very load thunderclap, managed to get over the second wave only to see another 60 foot wave coming towards us again flat out up the third wave again a loud thunder clap behind us ,after getting over the third wave there was no more waves the water was flat calm . We were both so distressed we packed up and went back to camp . Will never forget it since then have learned that this can happen when there is a earthquake under the ocean which creates shock waves and move under water until it hits shallower waters and than shows up about the ocean level into a massive wave just like in our case we both survived but have a very healthy respect for the oceans

Wow. Great vid and Bequia was one of my favourite places . I had 22 years cruising on my Fontaine Pajot Antigua 38 Cat called 'Alchemy' 5 years in the South Caribbean (Soca) in the 90's trying to do charters. I recommend you look at going down to Trinidad for the rest of hurricane season. Its latitude is south enough for the storms to form and track to the north so it felt a lot safer back in the day. Trinidad is English speaking and has some great yachtie facilities . And the best carnival. If you are going right round I'd avoid Venezeula totally ,but Panama is a lot of fun,and all those Pacific Islands are fabulous. I loved Tonga for a couple of years, then Brisbane to park it while I did a project for funds. I got as far as Phuket before the arthritus made me stop. So enjoy yourselves while you are young! Good luck

Been binge watching your channel. We also have a 424. I'm curious to know if yours was a ketch and the mizzen pulled or was it built as a sloop? Keep up the good work! We're currently doing a major refit and we'll hopefully be out there next year!

We have been curious about that as well since the boom doesn’t go as far aft as another 424s I’ve seen. There are a couple other things that have me thinking it might have been, but I’m not entirely sure. Thanks for the support! Hopefully we will see you out there!

Try to idle at least 1000 rpm, it will stop from glazing and carbon build up. Went through a NorEaster 60 miles per hour winds for 2 days. Sucks, but you did a great job with your ground tackle. You have too worry about others dragging..
@TheOceanBandits
@TheOceanBandits Жыл бұрын
Great idea! Wow that sounds like a crazy couple days! Thank you🙏 We tried our best to position ourselves away from everyone in case they dragged. Luckily no one drug into each other as far as we know. One mooring ball came loose in the mooring field. Boat had to motor into the wind for 2 hours before it shifted and they could drop anchor.

If you ever find yourself up at Long Island drop me a line, Shelter Island great place to Anchor in Cockles Harbor best calming right around the point , but the water is very cold to what your used too, public Marina in Greenport , best seafood at Claudio’s at GreenPort, dinners on me. Running the engine was very smart often lots of lightning in those types of storms, one hit can take out all of your electric. Often a strike will put a hole in your boat, and where you cannot get to it from the inside, so have a plan in place to attack the leak from the outside.. some how the worst always happens at night when it is very dark. Bravo Zulu too Your Husband, he did a great job..

Oh , and I now see you are doing Panama ,,,, So a bit more free advice if you can take it? Its VERY seasonal ! Now is hurricane season till September . Dont believe me, Believe the Pilot Books that you need to have for this stuff , Me? I did go down to Trinidad . Good place to sort all out .Then a big one round to the Canal . There will be up to date info on stops if you need them I dont have that info anymore. Once in the Pacific it will be light wind out to Galapagos, Then once you find the trade winds you will have many days downwind and perfect. I do hope it has not changed ! I gave up on spinnakers for cruising after my Atlantic crossing . That Frenchman in St Martin sold me a 'Whopper', ha ha . Twin light weight genoas on one roller luff . Great to go goosewinged for days . Then when a squall comes thru you just roll it in . Or reach off and halve the sail area. And it was pulling from the front so easy steering for the autopilot. Go slowly through the French Islands! I had a big falling out with my American ladyfriend in Tonga as she was always rushing to the next . Thats why I like you two! Enthusiastic, competent and compatible Enjoy, and as that Trini loved to say ' May the wind be always at your back side ,,,,,,' Jack Alchemy

Thanks for all the info Jack! We are not entirely sure what our plan is at the moment, but we would love to go that route. We will see as we get through this Hurricane season. I can see the love for the French Polynesian islands, we truly can’t wait to see them some day! It will be epic. We appreciate all the support!
