@SkypowerwithKarl3 жыл бұрын
You are lucky to have gotten a good hold on the bottom with a good anchor. One thing to remember is to take some load off the anchor by starting an engine and put it in forward but not enough throttle to slacken the chain. You got to pay attention for when the wind wanes you don’t run up on your anchor. It’s not as relaxing but it beats dragging and resetting an anchor in a storm.
@adventures3 жыл бұрын
Yes we were very happy with our holding. That’s the great things about the Bahamas soooo much wonderful sand to anchor in!! We were considering that but decided at the time to ride it out unless it goes worse or if we noticed that we were dragging at all.

Very nice. Something similar happened off Catalina Island in Southern California. Was anchored in Avalon Bay when a storm rolled in. OMG it was madness. I stayed anchored pretty well with 50 to 60 knot winds and rain. But we were up all night be because there were so many boats dragging anchor all over the Bay. Some poor sailboat next to us had the owner sitting on the bow pulpit pushing another boat away and this poor guy kept yelling "hello" to try and wake the occupants. Glad your anchor held but storms can be fun.

With our cruising in the Exumas we were having a hard time finding nice places to anchor due to the heavy winds and the wind shifts.

My wife was up watching the storm in the distance and then saw it coming close, I was sleeping like a log but she said the Anchor Alarm went off.

Storms at sea are tune ups with God.nSee how close you are as a speck of sand on a beach on a windy stormy day. Let's you know Gods in charge if you're intune to him you won't be to scared for you know how temporary life is. Make it worth something other than yourself and being to materialistic. Let's one know just shelter from a storm is the difference from life and death. Be greatful and pray that millions $ boat has God's blessings and is completely sea worthy

Yes I agree storms like that definitely make you realize how tiny of a speck you are in this giant world. Very humbling

Holy smokes! That's wild. Glad everyone is safe. I wonder if the SeaRay didn't have enough rode out?
@adventures3 жыл бұрын
It was truly insane!! And yes I am very glad as well, I’m not sure what the issue with the seaRay is we watched them trying to anchor during the day when the arrived and even then I could tell their anchor wasn’t sticking and it took them over an hour to anchor

I’d love for your father to answer this question? What is the most sea worthy, sea fairing vessel you ever been on and which is your most trusted when it comes to your life and your family’s life + most all around favorite and why? Jack of all? Please everyone share what yacht you would choose and why? Rules: Over 50 feet Owner operator. No crews! Extra hands yes but no crew. If something goes wrong guess who fixes it? Yep, you! And trawler speeds but best over all experience/performance. I will be Towing a Center consul boat( Boston Whaler 420 Outrage). So size matters 😉. I don’t believe it’s as obvious as readers may think. I personally love Riviera yachts(72 sport) but their mission is different. I fish, I day boat, I weekend entertain, I cruise the Bahamas and Caribbean Sea. I’d love to cruise the world but not with a Riviera sport. Could it? Yes! But not my first choice. Plus I wouldn’t choose a riviera great boats but I don’t think they’re breaking ice . Also those reading this comment what’s your favorites and non mean opinions?

I can promise you they were MUCH more than that. You don’t only get 2 foot waves from 60 mph winds and miles of no protection

This is my fathers boat. Me and my bf joined him to help him fulfill his lifelong dream of living and cruising full time. He had planned to go with my mom but she unexpectedly passed away right after the boat was delivered. So we are really just stow aways 😆
