SURPRISE MIDNIGHT STORM with 8 foot waves AT ANCHOR! EP.48

Our day starts out rough, really rough. We head out into the ocean in search of protection from the southern winds that have blown in overnight, we are hoping for a decent ride but our hopes are squashed as soon as we head out of the cut and into the ocean....after a wild ride we make it to our anchorage but little do we know that the real show has yet to begin. We endure our scariest night at anchor EVER with a storm that comes out of no where. We get engulfed in a lightening storm, anchors drag, anchorage full of white caps...our nice anchorage quickly turns into the anchorage from hell...

Omygosh! That was insane. Honestly, I would have been scared to death because it was night time. Thank You! All for capturing this storm and sharing it with us. Freaking awesome video. Thank God! Everyone on that we’re on their boats during this storms are okay. PeaceAndLove Lori

Yes it was, totally crazy 😳 it scared the crap out of me (natalie) and Camo, he was wondering why the heck we were out there in that crazy storm, I was thinking the same thing!! Very thankful that everyone in our area at least rode our the storm okay!

Yes it was a wild one that’s for sure! Surprised the crap out of us! Lol very glad we were able to ride it out so well :)

[@greathornedowl3644]

Thank you, nice to watch from the comfort of my easy chair. Difficult enough to hold your crap (anchor, mooring) together but then to watch for other boats dragging. This is where it is nice to have an anchor front and rear.

[@adventures]

Yes that does sound like a great place to watch from, much less stressful lol we were so happy to be in a nearly empty mooring field so that wasn’t a concern or issue! Our friends boat who was at a nearby anchorage actually got hit this night when the storm came in!

[@allaboutyachting]

Yeah, very frightening especially during the night as you cannot see nothing. A night vision camera helps a lot. I've been surprised by a 40kts thunderstorm last year in a tight anchorage. Very exciting.

[@adventures]

Yes the night definitely adds another element of fun to the whole thing 😳 we do have a flir but didn’t turn it on since we were able to see so well with the light bar! I am so glad we weren’t in a tight anchorage. That would have made it much scarier

[@jwyzdm]

Wow, that's some for real serious stuff you were filming. It gave me chills and got me to subscribe.

So glad you enjoyed it and welcome aboard thanks for joining along on the adventure!! And yes it was a wild storm to be at in the middle of the night with no protection from land 😳

[@ldirk58601]

As long as Mike is calm I would stay calm but white caps and confused seas scare the crap out of me! That was wild!

[@adventures]

I was calm because I could tell that the anchor was holding so well, but with no protection from an island I was worried about how big the waves were going to get 🙄

[@sitchad]

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.

[@adventures]

Oh goodness that sounds like absolute madness and something I do not need to be in! Lol thankfully we really had no one around us except for mega yachts off in the distance who have full crews so at least we had one less thing to worry about that night!

Great anchor to hold in those conditions , must give you great confidence !

[@adventures]

It’s an amazing anchor, we love that thing. So solid

[@michiganengineer8621]

That was one heck of a light show before the wind and rain swept in! Hopefully the rain did a lot of the work in washing down the boat.

[@adventures]

It was incredible!! And it did help power blast a lot of the salt off. Unfortunately the waves put some more salt back on the boat but way less than before!

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

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.

[@adventures]

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. Thankfully we stuck really well but that is very good advice and definitely something we considered

[@frankrice5364]

Awesome vedio thanks for sharing

[@michaelstogsdill6989]

TJ's sailor vocabulary got a dusting off, courtesy of nature's awesome display of power. Glad all is well. Might I suggest, when Captain Mike inquires if all hatches are secure as storm approaches, the crew acts. He's Captain for a reason, and you're lucky to have him. Thanks for the show.

[@adventures]

Lol yes it sure did and the hatches were all closed , the portholes is where some water leaked in because they weren’t closed very tightly but we are usually able to keep those open when it rains since they are under the overhang of the bow, the sideways rain and high winds clearly snuck up on us! And it seemed like no one responded to him due to how the video is cut but we told him that they all closed up!

[@slong2329]

@@adventures Don't you get an alarm on the bridge if a porthole is open? Also, thanks for the great videos.

[@adventures]

No we do not, I personally don’t know if any boats that have sensors but sounds like a great idea!! Instead they rely on us and our sleep deprived brains to remember haha

[@slong2329]

@@adventures Sorry, I was thinking of a Fleming. they monitor hatches and portlights for open/closed. I thought Nordhavn had the same style monitoring system.

Wow that’s cool and very smart. Unfortunately Nordhavn doesn’t have hay feature but they definitely should!!

[@Tretz624]

If looks could kill 🐶. TJ, you should have said “Yes, 52 is enough.” Poor Camo. 🙃

[@adventures]

Awe I know poor Camo was sooo traumatized. He loved boating up until that moment

[@karlstreed3698]

You should have had your VHF on. With the lightbar on you lost your night vision and if a boat was drifting down on you you might not have enough time to avoid them. This anchorage was fairly empty but in a more crowded anchorage it might help avoid problems.

[@adventures]

Thankfully there were no boats close ahead of us. Only mega yachts off in the distance but we turned the VHF on just in case! In a heavy anchorage I would have had track recordings on every boat in the anchorage haha

[@geoffhayday6003]

@@adventures But maybe you might hear a mayday?

[@terryt5512]

What an amazing lightning show! I know that Nordhavn vessels couldn't care less about the weather or the sea states but flesh and blood beings (human and canine) are quite different. I'm all the more impressed by your ship, that handled that very impressive storm without a beat. At the end, Natalie, when you were hunkered next to Camo, I can understand why neither of you is down with a long transocean voyage. I bet you could handle anything if you put your mind to it, but poor Camo looked as if he was really freaked out!

[@adventures]

It was an incredible show! And yes I agree the boat says what wind and waves I didn’t notice any. Camo and I were not saying the same thing. Poor Camo was MORTIFIED from that storm. I’ve never seen him worried on the boat before but that storm changed his opinion on the water for sure :/

[@TA-wg9oi]

That was an epic storm. I didn't hear what time at night it hit. I guess Mike has seen plenty of those living in Florida. They are common around Australia in summer. We call them electrical storms, don't last very long but usually with incredible hail. One I remember was 80 mph winds & up to 3 inch round hail stones. That'll do some damage.....

[@adventures]

Yikes thankfully there was no hail but it was a thought there for a while that some may fall, that would do some serious damage! And it started lightening around 10pm and that lasted for a few hours and then around 11pm the storm hit hard and lasted about 2.5 hours 😳

[@benwilliams174]

Wow thats ptetty bad storm glad you guys are ok 👌 👍 😔 🙏

[@adventures]

It was a big one and we are glad we rode it out safely as well!!

[@boatrvme8478]

Usually in July-August we experience these type storms about twice per week...I saw a sailboat mast get hit couple weeks ago in Fernandina beach!! When I was 19 I was struck standing by tree that was hit. I didnt take direct hit or I would have been fried!!! 40 yrs later still cruising!

[@adventures]

Twice a week wow that’s a lot!! I’m glad we didn’t see too many during out travels that’s for sure. You got struck by lightning?! I’m so glad you are okay and didn’t get a direct hit, I’m sure it gave you a new lease on life

[@mothdoc]

That's a gale force 8-9 in Uk speak (Beaufort scale), I've been in that a couple of times and it depends on the captain and the boat whether you feel safe or not. A mad German captain, in an 80-year-old tug with no oil measure, was not fun. This boat can easily handle it and Mike seems such a knowledgeable and level headed guy, he can captain me any time.

Can you image how the Sailboats are doing and even smaller Crafts, No Thanks. Glad everything was fine, even Camo made it through. Do you have FLIR? That would have been Badass to see on Vid.

[@adventures]

Hahaha yeah we wanted the boat washed down for us but I guess we should have been a little more specific with our request haha 😂 and yes a literal blast 💥 that would have been treacherous on a small boat, I felt bad for our seaRay boat neighbors even when they anchored in the evening their bow was flying up and down in the air. Yikes. We didn’t think of the FLIR because we were loving the headlight but that would have been cool!

[@etaoinbshrdlu]

Are you familiar with the old mariners' hymn, "Will Your Anchor Hold in the Storms of Life?" it has some fine lyrics! I;ll just give you one verse.. "Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, Will your anchor drift or firm remain? We have an anchor that keeps the soul steadfast and sure while the billows roll, Fastened to the Rock which cannot move, Grounded firm and deep in the Savior's love." Hope you like it!

Many things are possible but the moral of the story is it’s not good. Any electronics that are on can get fried. We know multiple boats that have had to have the entire boat re-wired and get all new electronics installed after being hit. It can be major and very costly

Was that storm on or around April 12th? We were anchored at Black Pointe in the Exumas on our Nordhavn 59CP and had the same experience, getting whipped around when the storm arrived from the north. We were also thanking our Rocna!

[@adventures]

Yes it was!! That was quite a storm! I’m glad you guys rode out the storm safely as well, did you have any protection from the waves at black point? I remember it having slight northern protection but not much.

[@Mac94920]

@@adventures No we really did not have the protection but the worst part was over probably within an hour. I had talked to a friend earlier on the phone from the Florida West Coast and he said it was pretty bad there. As you mentioned none of the weather services were predicting it coming as far south as we were. 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. I thought I could have a nice relaxing night on the hook at Black Pointe...WRONG! 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. I run to the helm and within a minute we had done a 180 and dragged the anchor. I ran out to the bow and let out some more chain but by that time the Rocna had reset. Wild night, rain sideways, could barely see. Safe Travels

[@billdomb]

Right about waves not showing their true heights. Can't figure out WHY!

[@adventures]

My best thought is that it’s an issue with depth perception. The camera makes it appear 2D instead of 3D so you can’t tell how high the peaks are or how low the troughs are. And if that isn’t it I have no idea!! Lol

[@billdomb]

Lol 8 foot waves a little over exaggerating don’t you think.

Every boater who KZbins will tell you that the waves never look as big on camera...unfortunately

Are you people independently wealthy? That's a 3 million dollar boat and you don't look a day over 30. Yes. I'm Jealous.

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 😆

Two choices don't say shit or when you bleep it out watch the volume your killing my ears with headphones

[@adventures]

Ah SORRY!! Truly are we will turn it down net to time. We didn’t play it through headphones while putting it together. Apologies for blasting your ears we will try to not let it happen again!!
