LIVING ABOARD a boat during a HURRICANE

[@NothingMaster]

The Beethoven’s 5th was a touch of class. 👍🏻 🎵 I love it, Camo is absolutely fearless. He is a true sailor at heart.

[@adventures]

The music just felt too right haha and Camo is truly fearless it’s awesome

[@sherrieherridge5326]

Living on our boat in Portland, GB, which I have dubbed the windy capital of the UK, we enjoyed being able to sit smugly and say things like 'call that wind? that's a small breeze to us! (our harbourmaster clocked us at 96 knots a couple of weeks ago, we clocked 81). However, less smugly we have to say we are firmly tied to a solid pontoon in a reasonably sheltered marina, avoid leaving the boat when the wind tries to blow us into the sea, and judge our trips out by the number of white caps we can see - so cowards really! Love your videos, love Camo!

[@sandralevine4378]

Love watching your adventures. Trying to figure when catch up on your sleep. When you are docked, you boat,dive, hike and bike!

[@adventures]

I’m so glad you like following along!! We are probably pretty behind on sleep with the night shifts, creaking lines, and all the activities. I’ll sleep when I get to a marina! Lol

[@TheBeatlemanic]

Happy Belated Birthday TJ. That wasn't much of a Hurricane there. Been on my Houseboat up to 104mph. We have seen 4 hurricanes while on this boat, no damage to us, thank the Lord for that.

[@adventures]

Oh my goodness that’s insane!! Wow I’m thankful to not have experienced winds that high while aboard that would be scary and yes you are very very lucky to not have any damage

[@ronhatcher7734]

Love these videos, ant wait for the next one. What a cool family adventure for sure.

[@adventures]

Thanks! So glad you are enjoying them :)

[@Big.Ron1]

I went thru 2 hurricanes. In the 70s Allen during the day and 80s Gilbert at night. They are wild. Especially for someone who is from the desert. Be safe and have fun!

[@adventures]

They are crazy and yes we didn’t grow up in hurricane areas either which makes them even crazier lol safety is always number 1!

[@jastark22181]

Natalie, your the first girl I ever heard say she wanted a smaller dingy! 😆😆😆 Hello beautiful, the lady's call me Tiny Timmy, can I help you with anything?? 😘 LMFAO! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I'm just kidding with ya to try to make you laugh. Great job editing the video!

[@billyb37]

Great life to have, love the boat!!

[@adventures]

Boat life is wild but I’m liking it!!

[@michae8jackson378]

You mentioned at beginning possible ICW some....we live in Cocoa on the Indian River right near the Space Center.... Make sure you blow your horn next time through lol😎😎😎👊👊👊👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👨‍✈️ I work in Orlando airport but we live on the ICW. Love it here! Hurricanes are a way of life. Our roof, fence and trees have been the worst one has done to us since we moved to FL in 2013 from KS. When I retire we want to get a Nordhavn....larger one, 76. Wife wants “lots of room”....lol for our 4 people, two dogs and a cat.

[@adventures]

Oh heck yeah that’s awesome that is one serious tank of a vessel. I’ve never been on the 76 but from the photos I’ve seen it’s stunning. That’s a heck of a plan! And we will next time for sure, hurricanes are still kinda crazy to me. I grew up near Cleveland so hurricanes have never been a way of life for me! Lol

[@michae8jackson378]

@@adventures my wife is from KS so tornadoes. I grew up in upstate NY so skiing. Dad was AF pilot so we were here in FL for one of the worst hurricanes ever, Camille in 69

[@adventures]

Oh yes KS would be a gnarly place to be during tornado season! Upstate NY is beautiful! Went to a wedding up in Saranac Lake 2 falls ago and it was breathtaking 🤩

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

So frightening 🙃 Awesome video, thank you x

[@adventures]

Glad you enjoyed!! It was wild

[@gjurczyc]

The boat is incredible and so is Camo!

[@adventures]

We agree! The boat is a tank and Camo is just the best 😊

[@slobmarley9070]

Fantastic boat!

[@adventures]

Thank you very much and that profile pic is great! Lol

[@glexplorer9002]

I just saw your stuff, and binge watched it! So nice to see you guys enjoying the journey together!! Love your adventures, as they are up my ally of how I enjoy to travel.

[@adventures]

Heck yeah! Glad you found us and happy to hear that you are enjoying the adventure. We are having a blast together!

[@harryrose9144]

Another great video! Happy Birthday to TJ and I'm not a big fan of spider either. Looks like you were well protected in your slip and glad there was no issues. Looking forward to next weeks episode. And safe travels where ever you all are....

[@adventures]

Yeah the spiders I could do without. Yes we were very well protected thankfully! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy them 😊

[@talan2298]

Happy Birthday TJ! 25 or 35? Could be either, so hard to tell with y’all

[@adventures]

Close! He just turned 26 but when I met him I thought he looked older than he was as well lol 😂

[@captraykelly]

Safe Harbor is a great marina. Love the whole area. We'll be there Nov 21-May1. Maybe I'll meet you guys if you go back there. Safe travels.

[@adventures]

It is a wonderful marina with great people there as well! Unfortunately we won’t be there then but I hope you have a great time while you are there 🥰

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I was in several typhoons. One hit 120 mph in Okinawa. In south Texas we get hit every now and then. A Cat 5 hit just east of Corpus a few years ago.

[@adventures]

Wow that’s impressive and terrifying! I like to try to stay out of the path of most hurricane (especially the massive ones!!)

[@Retired-nohurry]

Fun, but crazy, video.

[@adventures]

It was wild, going to the beach for a hurricane is something everyone should try out once. It’s a blast..lol get it 🤣

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

NPB has great protection....I was at Riviera Beach for it...

[@adventures]

Yeah it’s wonderfully protected which is why we were shocked but how windy and wavy it was getting!

[@talan2298]

What’s next? Heading to Bahamas, West End out of Palm Beach Inlet or Boynton Inlet? I believe if I recall it’s approximately 74 Nautical Miles due West off the Boynton Inlet. You guys have a sweet boat to do this on. Very Lucky. Bahamas and Caymans would be cool, or maybe keep it Domestic and head up the West Coast of Florida and coast along Louisiana, Mississippi, and down to Houston & Galveston Texas then a straight across the gulf trip in calm seas to Marco Island and back around to home port PBI. I’m enjoying following, more Boat detail, your, and procedural stuff would be great & people really tend to enjoy that. Great Team, I think TJ will be first to bail on the live aboard lifestyle! Not a bad word to say about him, just that’s my vote! Haha Good Luck & Stay Safe. Camo is my buddy and my dog, Charlie a Rottweiler a Che’s him. He’s her favorite on the channel. Keep it up! Be safe always.

[@adventures]

Next up is heading to the Bahamas!! We have boated around the Bahamas in the past a little bit but now we are going to be heading further south! The boat life is fun and keeps us busy that’s for sure! Who knows what the future holds especially during these crazy time!! Camo is the best and let’s be honest, he is the real star of the show! Thanks for watching :)

[@talan2298]

@@adventures awesome! That sounds like fun. Camo will be running night shifts at the helm all by himself soon. I wish I could send Camo some toys n treats. He’s so cool

[@adventures]

Hahah that would be great but at least he keeps us company as we pull the late night shifts. He would love that hahah all the toys and treats for Camo!

[@Andyl19678]

Great vlog. Nordhavn 60 is my ultimate boat. In the meantime we live aboard our Beneteau 46 in the Med. We can top your wind speed, no hurricane just strong winds in Kas, Turkey and 2 months ago we recorded 69 knots over night😳

[@adventures]

Well Beneteau makes a stunning boat! That is insaneeeeee I would not be okay if there were winds that strong ripping through at night. You both are brave

[@robertloehr5130]

Who is the singer at 3:57 point?

[@adventures]

I’ll have to look that up and add it to the video description

[@williamwright2183]

Camo didn't mind the wind 😀 Happy Birthday

[@adventures]

He really is game for anything lol and thanks!!

[@talan2298]

Oh, and I’m absolutely the biggest fan of Nordhavn Yachts, they are so incredibly roomy, dependable, durable, & space friendly. Let’s get Camo in a LifeVest when he’s going Potty so I don’t have a nervous breakdown, hahaha. Not calling you out, TJ has him on the leash I know. But still....

[@adventures]

You’ll be happy to know that we have a new spot for Camo to go potty underway up on the boat deck which is much safer and makes us all feel better about it too! The swim platform underway was less than ideal especially since he wouldn’t go to the bathroom while wearing the life jacket...oh dogs lol I agree though it is nice to have space to move around while living on a boat, I can only imagine how tight some quarters can be

[@talan2298]

@@adventures awesome! Good Job Camo. He’s such a good dog for such a big adjustment he’s doing awesome!

[@adventures]

Oh he is the best and gets showered with treats and praise ever single time he goes potty on his pad on the boat. We want to keep it a fun process :)

[@jedi201]

How's that guy guy on the pier in shorts and a tee. Crazy. Great video though.

[@adventures]

I have no idea! It was cold and the pelting rain hurt! I was glad to have a thick rain coat on for sure!

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Orb spiders and gopher tortoises. how much better can it get?!

Yikes I could do without the spiders! But the tortoise was super cool!

[@KandiSueTheBlue]

Loving your vlogs, well documented. The power in hurricanes is amazing.and you can see why you never want to be caught at sea in one. Good riddance to that very heavy dinghy. What did you replace it with?😎⚓🦘

[@adventures]

So happy to hear you are enjoying them! The power of the ocean amazes and scares me all at the same time. It’s nice to see it’s power from a distance, on land...lol. We are replacing it with a 10ft zodiac air floor!

[@odie175]

5 foot snow swells in Colorado!! I trade you guys snow board for surf 🏄‍♂️

[@adventures]

I think we are good on that trade for now 🤣 we have had plentyyyyyy of snowy winters, fully enjoying a year off of shoveling!

[@dhmsmith1]

Awesome guys. So this is like from 4 months ago?

[@adventures]

Yeah it is. When we started the boat trip we didn’t have time to put videos together so we are behind but are hopping to get closer to being caught up soon!! We were just trying our best to figure out weather, anchorage, and explore lol now we are finally getting a good handle on things lol

[@symonsmith3497]

That's nothing, Normal weather in the English Channel. most days are 40 knots.

[@adventures]

Yikes! Sounds like I would not do well over there!

[@johnjcoxiii9401]

Let's talk wind. When you were on the beach and pier you reported the wind was 40 knots and it was your first time in a hurricane. SORRY! According to the Beaufort Wind Scale, 34 to 40 knots is a Gale. 64+ knots is a HURRICANE!
