GETTING SMASHED by a STORM! Losing our Steering at SEA! Ep 288

Trying to make ground out of Indonesia we leave a little early and sail directly into a Storm! www.sailingnandji.com
In this episode, after missing our great sailing window because of needing to change props... We try to be sneaky and sail 25 nautical miles up the coast before the expected bad weather comes. We didn't make it...
We get smashed by a massive squall in 35+ knots and a building confused sea, off the headland we lose our steering. Then the windvane breaks... We have no steering and hove to in massive waves...

That’s what staying calm & knowing your boat does for getting on with fixing stuff on the fly - good work 👍

[@TK-ov4hn]

Tense moments at sea and you guys handled like the pros that you are. Tallula is going to grow up and be fearless!

[@mickeyh53]

True Aussie spirit right there people!!..admiration from me guys!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@landinsongs]

Impressive how you've become pro ocean sailors over the years, now riding out storms and equipment breakdowns like it's just another day at sea.

[@Lainie1951]

Oh my word! You are both so calm under pressure. Such a pleasure to travel with your beautiful little family. 💕

[@kyleenglish2831]

Yosh, we could see it on your face. You were dialed in and in charge the whole time. That was impressive to say the least.

[@mcd858]

Yosh holding it down like a KING!

[@robertcarkeek8391]

A treet to see Yosh handel those sheets like a dance!

[@ablemarine9072]

God Bless and Keep you All, Blessed and safe, whatever you may encounter each Day! Lots of Love to you.

[@ablemarine9072]

You Three always make me Smile! You accept and answer life's challenges with great attitudes! That's a Privilege! Little T is a Very Happy Baby, Good job.She will be the glue that holds you together, Daily

[@davidbartlett5604]

Loved watching the Yosh dancing from side to side in the cockpit handling the lines and boat!! Great job in handling the small challenges put in front of you !!

[@TheJeffrey575]

This is the first video that made my heart speed up. The roughest seas I’ve seen in a while. It’s wonderful that Bonita and Yosh are such experienced sailors. Nanji provided some excitement for sure.

[@donaldburton6869]

Boy I know one thing and that is I'm glad I'm in the comfort of my recliner watching you guys.

[@donnakawana]

You guy's are amazing!! Seriously love how Tallulah talks on the walkie... She's a wee sailor all ready... Legends you lot pure class Acts... Thanks for sharing your lives with us grateful for the wisdom shared... ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@svZia-Switch51]

Until today I never realized how shallow Nandji’s cockpit is. Nice job with the repairs at sea!!

[@janebarrow2714]

Scary storm....you were real troopers....partners all the way! Glad you made it through this storm.

[@robyg7037]

Surfs Up Brah ! Great swells at 8:00 in .... the Nandji Ridin the Storm Out ! the Yosh focused at one with the sails and helm ! May Odysseus Force Be with You ! Great advanced sailing action you guys ! Always be safe out on the high riding seas !

[@fxpthl]

Now that was a rugged crossing! Your wife so calm during the steering Issue too. An amazing girl sir!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

She sure is!

[@eileeninmaine333]

OMG, those white caps! You really keep your cool, both you and Jordan!

[@t.lillylittlewater2107]

This was a heart pumper! Your teamwork and focus is both admirable and respected. Loved seeing Tallulah talking on the Walkie like the captain she is!

[@michellemarleau3035]

I love you guys! Thanks for working so hard to give us these amazing videos! Stay safe ♥️

[@robertbass5283]

That was a WILD Sail…Glad you guys got the steering fixed and all is good !

[@kristaready8812]

Great job guys, good work on the fly! Tallula is growing so fast, what a little darling 🤗💞

[@pnr9730]

Bad weather just makes you a more salty sea dog.... oh how I miss my Van De Stadt seal days. I sailed the same seas. Your vids remind me of my sailing days. Thanks from Queensland. Cheers.

[@PedroThai]

gday. you guys amaze me, so much adversity, ups n downs, thats why you do u what u do I suppose, living life, enjoy Thailand one of the best countries in the world, fair winds

[@sc-ez9fz]

You two are the best! You have had struggles as of late and came thru like the warriors you are.. Thank you for showing that cruising is not just sandcastles and bikinis but true life that gets complicated!

[@davidbeattie4294]

If it was all clear skies and following winds everyone would be doing it and where would the adventure be in that. You, Bonita, and Tallulah take your obstacles in stride and just deal with what ever happens. Cheers from Toronto.

[@johndonaldson5126]

Thanks for the sections of the video with just boat/wave sounds.

[@curtisglidden8009]

Don’t fret brother ✌️you guys are champions You Got this

[@sarahpinchbeck6955]

OMG.... we have been watching you guys for 3 years and this is the first time I've made a comment....YOU ARE AN AWESOME FAMILY...hope to meet you all in the future ... you INSIPRE US TO SAIL .. love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends! Well that was a terrifying passage and to think you had a ceremony to cleanse you both of evil spirits a few months ago was good because who knows what could have happened if you had not done so. Tullah is so darn cute and I hope she hung tough through that ordeal although there was obvious footage that she was calling out when business was at hand to fix the boat. Best wishes for you three plus your boating buddy Jordan. Fair winds and following seas for you lot. Thanks for sharing! Yew!

[@jimbetzing3587]

Y'all are the "real deal"! Glad you made it.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

FUN times!!!! Glad everything got Fixed the Tallula Mae Cam is Awesome as always 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@somadevo]

You did a great job of handling the challenges as usual. You are loved and admired. Highest Blessings

[@TheOaksHeart2024]

That was a crazy sail, but yall handled it like pros!!!! Love your videos always look forward to them.

[@lynetteaustin]

Great video of some very nice REAL sailing!! Always a treat

[@mattwiggins3960]

Impressive. I've been in some squalls, some pretty bad. Never had to do any real boatwork during them though. Yosh, you are freaking amazing.

[@tetraskele9621]

That had to be one of the NOSIEST jungle audio backdrop soundtracks I have ever heard, you guys! Incredible. It just needed some money howls or "barking deer" or other mammalian noises to make it orchestral! There's no "pop filter" for that! : ). Glad you got Nandji working ... again! I am getting afraid to take my boat across the Pacific, after watching you three caught up in 'survival' each week. : ). So, I do not think you've explained the reason for the return to Thailand? You just like the food? Is this like your Monsoon "hole?" Maybe you could explain this? I must have missed it? Fair Winds ... Dorian

[@suewaldeck8198]

Tallula is just so darn cute!

[@WildWoodlandsSW]

Nicely done video. I liked the music being more subdued than the ambient sounds. Look forward to see more of your travels 👍🙂🙏Best wishes from Uk

[@atiamuri101]

Fark!some bloody great sailing footage through that rough weather!fascinating to see both of your game faces on for real.great vid guys❤️

[@jeffreysearle2996]

I don’t know what was more stressful to watch, the sailing or you guys walking though that gun slinger town. You guys are nuts. 😳😳

[@MonicaRrtx]

Wow great maneuvering Yosh... you got this, nothing can hold you down... sending hugs to Lady Tallulah and her gorgeous mum

[@kelleypeacham1684]

What a team ! Calm and controlled. Great footage 👍

[@tammyferraro6478]

Yosh, I was expecting those shorts to fly away with the wind!

[@pedrowwright1629]

Another inspiring video. Excellent seamanship and focus on the hazards and best way forward. You are both awesome.

[@sailorruss5279]

Being a sailor, always great to see some real sailing experiences. Never know what the boat and weather will throw at you.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Some real sailing in this episode. Well done.

[@victorbitter583]

Crisis averted . Good stuff. I see the Bug now has radio operator to add to the resume. You 2 want to be careful she doesn't get a better offer to crew on another boat lol. cheers.

[@robertchisholm2483]

Great job on fixing your steering, holding it all together, good job captain.😎🧑‍✈️

[@petebernhagen4640]

By far your best video. 👌 Great music, camera placement, interesting commentary and cuteness 😍

[@scottmills3403]

awesome team in sailing - safe travels from North Carolina-USA

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

So glad you made it safely! ❤️

[@matthiashampel1442]

what a ride,..,well done

[@sailingandrunning]

The experience shines through when problems are solved in a gale with a crying baby and no steering lol

[@darrintinsley2070]

Thanks for sharing the tough passage. Some channels make cruising look too much like a Moorings Brochure. Ever thought about a jack line when you leave the cockpit in weather?

[@MaMa-st2eg]

So glad you all are safe....Yosh is the real deal Captain....You are such a beautiful family....

[@richardshippful]

Nandji always living in interesting times.

[@ausi14u]

You guys worked hard for those thumbs up this time.

[@shanecobb7725]

Love watching you guys be safe 👍

[@danielwaters2132]

Reminded me of the old days of Nandji sailing, "anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible time." Great work Yosh and Bonita!

[@chuenyeelau]

Love you guys and glad all went well. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@robertfultz5481]

Yosh is a legend!

[@gmccracken01]

Good job on fixing that steering under duress!

Big respect to you both. 👍 👍

[@fgansell]

Great session on the sea to watch, thanks for sharing

[@brucemckelvy9920]

You guys are awesome. True sailors.

[@_pic_7571]

Yeah everytime the camera was on the wheel the auto pilot was trying to go to starboard. I was like " that's a lot starboard correction for that sea state. He's gonna jibe perty soon if he doesn't watch out. Lol.

[@georgeroach7499]

That's a wild ride

[@matthewcarlile9916]

Great video guys. Well done
