Sailing our Beneteau through STORM FORCE winds! Sailing Bohemia Ep.94

[@Cptnbond]

Finally, a sailing episode that lives up to the title. You did a great job, and who said "production boats" cannot take a beating. Well done. Cheers.

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it

[@mmccartney6579]

I'm on the wrong side of 77, a yank Navy Veteran, and you two are bringing back SO many great memories of my misspent youth!! I just subscribed!! Thank you, and Cheers!! :)

[@SailingBohemia]

aww so glad to hear, thanks a lot..glad you enjoyed it

[@maTTolaX2]

Wow! Just, Wow!! The raging water, the howling winds and with that soundtrack I was expecting Neptune to come rising up! Well done you two. And through it all you kept smiling. BRAVO!

[@SailingBohemia]

aww thanks David. Hope all is well

[@aqueousmoments]

A lot to n

Thanks a lot Bill, hear hear

Costarica ... the best place I have visited !!! Enjoy it !! Pura Vida !!

[@SailingBohemia]

ohhh are you cheating? shouldn't you be watching the earlier episodes before catching up on this one? ha ha

[@JorgeLopezSegura]

@@SailingBohemia couldn't wait ..Sig !!

[@desertedenblooms]

WoW way to go ! baby you were rocking! bravooooooooooooooooooooooo....a toast to the Captain and First Mate in Charge of everything else..lol Big hugs! Be Blessed and Be safe!

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks so much... glad you enjoyed it! and I am so pleased its over!

[@ewilson8504]

A little alcohol goes a long way. Amazing video. Watched it twice. "Trust the boat. Trust the captain. Trust the crew." thanks

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it

[@tribalistnyc]

Loving this. This is the perfect preparation for a pre-pacific crossing or else. Let's go!

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha no more of that please!! We had our fair share of rough weather this year! 😘

[@l8knight845]

Honestly it looks pretty calm. Your taking waves directly to your port side under sail in high winds and the boat appears to be handling it amazingly. Looks fun.

[@SailingBohemia]

gracias, looking back it was an amazing experience! glad its over though!

[@junewatkins9891]

Such scary winds. Well done you for battling through. So pleased at the end of the episode in the nicest possible way! X J&R

[@SailingBohemia]

Gracias June. 😍

[@ricaroo1969]

Congratulations to both of you! 40 plus knots is no joke and you did a great job surviving and filming too. I was anxious just watching this one. Great build up with the tense music.

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks so much , glad you enjoyed it! Luckily that was the last big blow of the Papagayos... hopefully never again! lol

[@ksr1991]

So glad you made it safely, we were drinking every time you said Papagayos!

[@SailingBohemia]

you must have been drunk by the end! ha ha

[@darrenwatson1539]

#1 Again BABY!! Great editing. LOVED the action sequence. Great video guys. Looked like fun.

[@SailingBohemia]

should start making medals for you! ha ha

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

That's some sporty sailing, well done guys. I can just imagine the build up of salt on the boat.

[@SailingBohemia]

thank you! and you are so right.. first thing we did in the marina was to wash the entire boat!

[@svtiggerr]

Tough conditions, you learn a lot about your boat and you as a person in those conditions, great job, well done guys

[@SailingBohemia]

Thank you very much

[@SandraLiving]

Bohemia performed perfectly! She is built for these winds. Happy to see you reefed well and stayed safe. That was quite a ride!!

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks so much Sandra...it definitely was our toughest journey to date, no more please

[@chasingsunsets380]

Great video, the trials make you stronger. Hoping for fair winds for you guys.

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it

[@hata5428]

Fantastic sailing guys. Well done. Let's hope for fair winds from here on:)

[@SailingBohemia]

Gracias, glad you enjoyed it

[@malgraham351]

Good stuff guys handled it well and so did Bohemia

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks Mal..

[@ChasingForever]

So glad you two are safe. It was an exciting video though. Gentile breezes and calm seas on your next leg!

[@SailingBohemia]

The first mate demanded gentle breeze and calm seas since Guatemala ha ha

[@kevinl8922]

Glad you made it safely!

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks a lot Kevin

[@DoingHawaii]

Wow! That was a rough commute. Well done, guys!

[@SailingBohemia]

very rough commute ha ha

[@NauticEd]

Really well-done guys. Got a few laughs at your expense.

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha, glad you did. 🤭 thanks a lot

[@irenahejnova9227]

Teda ty vlny 😲 šílený už se těším na další epizodu 😘 . Upravte titulky, když je dlouhý tak konec není vidět 😉

[@SailingBohemia]

aha asi se mi tam vloupila chyba.. xx

[@bigchief4044]

Soundtrack and editing gave the video a bit of a Volvo Ocean racing feel. 😁 Well done.

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed this dramatic performance! lol

[@lovesailing2008]

wow.. just wow... those conditions were crazy! My friend went through the Papagayos too and had very similar journey to you! Hats down boys! well done

[@SailingBohemia]

gracias, glad you enjoyed it

[@buckboardfreight5537]

What do you think the deal with your anchor windlass is? Poor design, too whimpy..? Seems like it gets stuck a lot.

[@SailingBohemia]

very good question and we have rhe answer...It will be covered in about 5 episodes ... unless you want me to ruin the fun and tell you? lol

[@Cedandkikisailing]

Hilarious, 😂 Great share of this awesome sailing experience!

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it

[@jlippin]

Loving your videos! So glad I found your channel while I was taking NauticEd's sailing course module on reefing sails! Reefing when it gets to 18knots works well on our 33ft Hunter too and after binge watching your videos from episode 1 and seeing how things can escalate quickly once the wind is building, I am definitely going to make this a rule on our boat. Thank you for all your great content!!!

[@richsander1118]

Darn, hoping all that bobbing around the first mate would have accented slipped off, leaving room for new crew. I guess I need to hope for another time. All good glad you made it.

[@SailingBohemia]

oh Rich...we love you.... that first mate has a very tight grip!! But keep hoping, there is always the canal, and I hear there are crocodiles in there!! ha ha may oil up the deck!! 😂😂🙈🤭

[@richsander1118]

@@SailingBohemia just do it at the end of your night shift during passage and don't let him know. Then have a good sleep know your problems will go away. Sweet dreams!

[@JordanJamesBatts]

Love you guys!!!!!

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks so much

[@Emmajb71]

Captain Fun Sponge 🤣🤣

[@SailingBohemia]

soooo true!

[@jumpyX2]

Only 1 minor issue (anchor) is a good result. Imagine a jammed furler or dirty fuel, that would have gone pear shaped. So you did well!

[@SailingBohemia]

thank you, I don't even want to think about those scenarios ha ha

[@andersnielsen5895]

Magaritta for the first mate and its the Captin ho makes it ;D

[@SailingBohemia]

ha ha, now that sounds heavenly

[@SailingJohanna]

Whoa!!!!! That was like camping… INTENSE!!!! Well done! We were on the edge the entire time! New Subscribers earned here, for sure! Pura Vida ♥️✌🏼⛵️

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it..hope you enjoy the previous episodes too

[@lexylexylexy1234]

Great sailing you two! Calm seas never made a good sailor.

[@SailingBohemia]

thanks so much Alexis...we don't want to repeat this passage anytime soon! ha hab

[@danholden4344]

Hope you bought stock in Dramamine tablets. BTW: How many cameras do you guys have installed?

[@SailingBohemia]

we have two... The First Mate is the main cameraman.

[@brucemcnair2]

Love it!!

[@SailingBohemia]

Thanks a lot!

[@sebrofseven]

Jesus, just Jesus....no words....Jesus.

[@SailingBohemia]

i know!! that's what I kept saying throughout

[@keithmillay1523]

We’re speechless….

[@SailingBohemia]

glad to here it.... finally!! ha ha ha ..it was a carnage! So glad its over!

[@SVParadigme20]

Why? did you not get the forecast? I mean a Beneteau should NEVER see this much wind

[@SailingBohemia]

Look up Papagayos winds and their behavior... they cannot be forecast and they blow from January to May.. you can get only 20 knts or you can get 50knt... we clocked 48 as the max. you stay close to shore ao if things get bad, you can anchor.. that's the well known strategy for the crossing

[@SVParadigme20]

@@SailingBohemia 😀 Cannot be forecasted... Really?

[@SailingBohemia]

read about it.

[@SVParadigme20]

Buddy been sailing 40 years living aboard for the last 10 years. There is no such thing as an impossible to forecast weather pattern. Only folks who can’t read a weather map or click baiters… wondering where you fit in🤷‍♂️

[@SailingBohemia]

It's ok you don't have to read about it, we love hearing from people who've acquired enough knowledge for their lifetime 😘 Wishing you fair winds but maybe avoid sailing here!

[@jerrysmith4461]

Over 40 knots is just not fun, in any way.

[@SailingBohemia]

agreed, we don't want to repeat this anytime soon
