This is so Sad. I am thankful to God that my mother’s hard work is still standing strong (well from what we see on a very blurry drone video circulating), as well as my grandparents home which we refer to as the family home, but some people still can't be located, and there are quite a few family members who’s homes are on the ground many of them are very old. I don't even know where to start! Personal videos and images are heart breaking, however, they still manage to smile and lift their spirits while people here complain about petty things. Imagine losing a whole island and not just your home? No vegetation except grass, no electricity, you can't find documents, or even use the bathroom in sabnitary conditions, where do you start?

May God be with y'all❤

It broke loose!!!

Survival of the fittest, whoever doesn't want to survive can be replaced by a migrant.

Glad to see you're safe, Simon.

In my personal view, it should be an absolute must that anyone that travels on a boat must have certification that they know how to operate a fire extinguisher, understand different extinguisher types, types of potential fire risks and a practical session on how to put out fires correctly. Those with limited experience with fires will panic and thus limiting your ability to think rationally. Good vid as always!

Do you know if Spice Island Marina was affected?

Thank God

Godspeed Britican!!🙏

Excellent

Keep safe and keep us updated

Good luck Simon. I know all will be fine for you. You are an excellent planner and sailor. Thank you for the wonderful learnings experience. You got this.

Very glad for you!!!

Thanks so much for the update

The inner lagoon at Port Louis is solid gold

Another idiot playing with the hurricane. Your boat by now it’s probably gone. This is no joke

Is the Pangolin around you Its a Bruckmann 50 dark blue with white?

Hold Fast!

Good luck sir!!

Honestly the world is watching!

Keep posting mate!!!!

The RainMaker was here.

Stay Safe!

Wish I seen this last year 😢

Electric really?

Rule 3 - At all times be paranoid about Fire.

Hello! I thought you sold your boat.

I just need to win the lottery and then I'll buy Britican. I so much miss that boat.

So a squall is a rain shower 🚿

Take the fuel hose with you

Got more work to do 🙄

Finally. Someone that attaches a line to a cleat the proper, easy, and safe way. I hate the twist "lock" that so many people use. Except I wrap 2 Xs or as I call then Figure 8s then a round turn to finish off.

Awesome video but PLEASE, Simon stop doing that forced smile thing with your teeth. First, smiley guy is a very effem look. Second, it is so forced looking. Just be a normal guy and speak like a guy. That's all that is needed. Just so you know, it is women who feel the need to smile all the time not guys... You are being influenced by the wrong Sex... Just saying.. Love the sailboat though.

Now that’s tempting 👍

Doesn't matter: How much $$$ do you have?

Boat kids are the best.

Simon is an excellent teacher with loads of knowledge.

Been there, done that! Glad you got it!

Goin down together! 😅

Like most things it is what you want to fill your needs. Mono for me, low budget, single hander, mainly coastal hopping, so a cat would not fit at all. If the budget were bigger, than still a mono. If I was half a couple in tropical water, live aboard, then cat.

For me it’s monohull all the way. Not a fan of cats

Britican 100% But I'm a bit biased.

I’m in the process now of deciding. I always thought I’d go multihull but after seeing so many videos of monohull sailing in bad weather, especially getting caught out in an unexpected or stronger than intended squall and handling it, I’m struggling to understand how a sail by numbers catamaran handles those situations. Safety is very important for my wife and I.

I can't think of any cons of a catamaran other than being unaffordable to most people.
