THINGS GET INTENSE! HURRICANE STORM FIONA IN PUERTO RICO

[@fishnchips7823]

Matt you keep setting the example for not just proper boating etiquette but you genuinely care for others. Hats off off to you!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

I was taught early in life, when u give love u get love. 🙌🙌

[@clarenceholcombe4473]

Glad to see you guys are alright.

@@SailingGoodBadandUgly strange comment from a ring fighter... Nice, but strange!!!

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

@@2011mendo I never competed with malice. There's much more of a brotherhood among fighters than alot of people see. Training hard and giving my opponents my best was showing respect and love to them and their team

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

@Custos Luminis 😅😆 u got smooth legs?

[@72plyduster1]

So glad you and your boat got through the storm without any damage, your attitude is to be commended!

[@ed_cetera]

Calm, in the face of a storm, and very well managed . Good for you Matt and Kristen !

[@DIYNauticalDream]

We're very happy to see you both made it through the hurricane safely and your boat did as well. Hopefully the power will be back on soon.

[@gregorycarter8819]

So glad you guys are ok Been praying for y'all

[@johnnynovember4471]

So happy to see you guys are alright.. was worried with seeing all the flooding and how much damage was shown on TV..

[@caribbeanchild]

The mainstream media shows the worst they can find...or even old video. It suits the climate change agenda. A tropical storm or CAT 1 is nothing. Just a lot of wind and rain. The Caribbean islands are accustomed to this.

[@bryanostlund6902]

Great to see that you’re hanging in there and safe. That’s a lot of work and stress. Thanks for the update!

[@papillon6122]

I’m a retired Frenchman living in France, but I’ve previously lived 50 years in Puerto Rico. I had an apartment in Dos Marinas Torre I and a sailboat in Villa Marina. During hurricane Hugo of 1989, my boat was in Marina Puerto Chico and it got separated from its dock together with another boat that was tied to the same wooden walkway. They both either went around or over the breakwater and ended up near Isleta Marina. The other boat sank and served as an anchor to my boat that was miraculously unscathed. Your videos bring back many fond memories (I was a regular customer of the Skipper Shop), I wish you all the best!

[@mikelemordu5948]

we are so glad that you guys are all right , Matt did a good job securing the boat and as usal , helping to secure another one , way to go Matt . Keep on the good work ! Hope to see you sailing soon !

[@cliftontibbits6644]

Thank you for sharing all that you do,your channel is one of my favorite sailing channels and how you bought yours and went for it,you’ve given me hope that one day I to can do as you are,your in my prayers as well all who are sailing,take care and thanks again…

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks Clifton 🙌 🙏

[@someonewhocares5712]

Glad u guys made it. I have not watched all yet but I have been waiting with a heavy heart that u guys are good

[@devinharp636]

Great video!!! The willingness to go out of the way for others is what makes you both a joy. From Oklahoma USA ❤

[@07bently]

This Is Your Best Video Yet.. You guys did very well and thank God it wasn't as bad as it could of been, this recognizing that some suffered severe loss and our prayers goes out to them. I'm not a fan of you know who's gangster persona so I usually skip most of the videos but when we get to see the real Matt we see what a good man he really is.. Any boat loss is someone's dream gone and good on ya to try and help others though there's somewhat of a risk as you mentioned

[@jimbranch7312]

Wife and I kept checking to see any postings from you two. Glad to hear that you and your home made it through. Great job Matt with the Larry the lasher job

[@derekswenson2055]

I’m very happy to see your both a okay!! And thanks for the insight and perspective into a traumatic weather event

[@donnarocchio936]

Prayers answered that you would make it thru the storm with no damage to the boat. Stay safe and you have each other to get you through this.

[@thomasmccollister2595]

We are so happy you made it through the storm. We have been checking every day for an update. Really worried. Glad you are OK!

[@t9cstudio]

Great job protecting your boat and looking out for another's boat. You rock Matt! Y'all handled the 'cane with honors.

[@benjaminrauschenbach6084]

I’m glad you are doing okay. Been worried about you all week. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@rodneyross5282]

WOW! I am so glad that you two are OK. I am also glad that the beautiful boat did not get damaged. Very informative video, could not find anything out about the area you are in on the news except the reopened the port quickly. Wishing you a super great week and pray that God blesses you two always.

[@hawaiibound62]

thank God, u all are ok! you had us all worried! hurricanes are no joke, I couldn't imagine the stress you all were under, especially having a boat! I'm glad everything worked out for u 2!

[@pursuitforadventure]

Good on you Matt for pulling that person's boat away from the dock! Getting in the boat to find more rope and re tieing it. You have a heart of gold!

[@stelliform]

So glad you guys are safe!

[@FirstMateSailor]

Wow! Good Samaritan example for helping others’ boats. With all your wonderful upgrades and new windows, NO LEAKS!! Yay! So thankful you and GBU boat are okay.

[@SBoots29]

Survived that one. I was thinking about how you both made out. Prayers to the people in PR. Boat life seems so glamours with no worries. Your video shows the darker side and the work load that goes with it. Your both tough and will conquer. Stay safe out there. Cheers

[@yogihartmann8562]

Glad your boat and both of you are safe! I’m so in Florida waiting on Ian!

[@ltlrc5386]

So glad you’re safe. We have been so concerned for you!

[@danrodgers6762]

Glad the boat is OK after all the prep ..now you have to get through the aftermath and still eat Hats off to you for the boat rescue in the midst of the storm

[@csisk]

So glad you guys made it through. All thoughts to PR for a quick recovery.

[@ralphholiman7401]

I've ridden out more hurricanes than I can count with a sailboat, and I know you have one under your belt now, but don't worry about the mainsail. Just take some line and wrap it to the boom and it will be fine. Now for the headsail. Get it down. Every hurricane, somebody leaves then on and we watch then get unrolled. and destroyed. Really enjoying your videos! And, Matt, I hope you realize every single day of your life how lucky you are. Girls like Kristen don't come along every day. And, good job, taking care of other people's boats. That's what it's all about. Helping each other.

[@mwatkins2464]

So happy y’all are safe and boat made it through it. Glad to see Matt helping out with the other boat . God bless you guys ❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@mikaelbengtsson8875]

Well done keep up the good work your boat is starting to look twentyfive years younger❤

[@michaelsais2243]

Glad to see that you both are safe. My prayers are with the people of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic

[@wonderwond]

hope you guys have a star link on your boat, many boats are doing it for internet service

[@michaelcanto6175]

Glad you all are safe! We were very worried about you guys. Sending lots of love and prayers!

[@stewieuk1276]

Way to go Matt on securing that loose boat! You are the man! I hope both of you are doing well and had zero damage to your boat! Take care now!

[@craigc.7033]

I was getting concerned with you guys and the storm. I watch a few other sailing channels (yours is the best) and most got out of that area. Glad to see you are ok.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thanks Craig

[@MrBIGBOBBO]

I've been worrying about you guys. So glad the worst is over. You did good with your storm prep! Thanks for the update.

[@whitecaps775]

Good to see your survival, must of been stressful. Thought of you two all week. Cheers

Gosh been so concerned about you 2! So glad you are both safe, and boat is safe. Truly blessed. Sending prayers for all of Porto Rico.

Living in the uk I can’t imagine what it’s like living through a tropical storm, hurricane or tornado, thank you so much for sparing the time to share this with us , as well as securing your own yacht helping others secure their boats , I tip my hat to you Matt , awesome fella , the uk grinds to a halt with 2 inches of snow lol, I saw the devastation storm Fiona caused to your island soul destroying. So glad your both safe 🙏🙏🙏

[@jerrybailey3095]

A true measure of competence is how you perform when the chips are down and you two passed with flying colors! You joke and have fun but you are not average sailors. Great episode and very informative. Love your work!

[@brianwalker9185]

I have been thinking about you both...And the people on the island. Was glad to see that you made it through o.k. Now for the fun part...surviving post hurricane. Hang in there

Grateful you came through the storm! Well, done, Matt helping out that neighbor boat.

[@tomshaw9983]

So glad to see you are both OK. I have been wondering all week how you were getting along.

[@chuckhemstreet4663]

Glad you guys are safe and the boat weathered the storm without damage. Good job Matt!

[@briantrenorden8633]

So pleased you both and your boat/home survived the worst of the storm. I am personally glad it wasn't me there but I guess if I was then you just have to do what is necessary for your survival and that of your boat. I look forward to the next video when we get to see how you got on through the whole ordeal. Good luck for the future from Down Under ⛵⛵⛵

[@lurkndog]

Glad you two are OK, and the storm was something you could ride out in port. Hopefully you'll be able to take your boat out in clear weather soon.

[@angeloattard9748]

glad the worst is over and you guys are well...keep well and keep safe.

[@goofydude1470]

Glad you two are OK! The footage of the flooding in PR was intense. I was honestly worried for you and your boat. Prayers and Blessings to all in FIONAs path.

[@ronalddecosimo4999]

Glad to see you both are well and safe, prayers to all the people in PR that were affected by the storm.

[@peterengel7885]

Interesting very interesting. I enjoy seeing people work ( insert wicked laugh ) You are a couple of troopers.

[@dereksellars]

So Glad you guys made through all that. I as well as 200 thousand other people were concerned about your safety. Looking forward to more videos!! Thanks, and take care :):)

[@MrBeltaine]

Great prep & follow thru for the boat. Then you get to wait & STRESS. You guys rock

[@sailinghonornytola5557]

Glad you two are alright. Very cool helping other fellow boaters Matt ..

[@ntuidme]

so glad you and your boat survived, and that power and water can be restored. Your concern for what could happened showed in your faces, and definitely you kept calm. Now all you need to do is get back to one!

[@jameselpers2967]

Yay, you guys are fine.

[@ianmerrill9819]

Happy to see you guys came out unscathed! My wife and I were saying things all week to each other wondering how you guys were doing. Get back on the water! Time to go sailing!!!

[@johndonadio3312]

Very glad to see you guys, was very concerned after seeing the total devastation to Puerto endured. Happy you survived the storm with little or no damage and hopefully your power is restored. Looking forward to seeing your next posting.

[@stevebroander2119]

Glad you two are hanging in there and are safe.

[@stevesboat1854]

Glad to see you guys are ok. Didn't know I cared so much but I've been checking everyday for an update since your last video. lol Good job saving that boat Matt. I've done the same and have had others take care of my boat in a storm as well. My favourite part of the boating world is the people and the fact that most will lend a hand without question or judgment. Can't wait to see if you were able to save and eat that bacon. Helluva cliff hanger!

[@usiusd]

Some KZbinrs are posting videos that were filmed months ago. Thank you for posting on a timely basis. It made watching this very interesting.

[@Scarf66.]

You guys rock! Totally legit, real and relatable. Plus, you got your priorities straight. On top of that, your episodes are more engaging than virtually all of those ‘professional’ real life shows on streaming channels. Hats off to the both of you!

[@Ninoy2059]

Matt. You are one of a kind. You can make the best friend. You are genuine, Passionate worker, Caring human being. God Bless you both and be safe out there. Best of luck.

[@dan1969]

[@shanesanko1408]

Glad you two are OK and the boat didn't get destroyed can't wait to see the next adventure.

[@todbot3293]

Sincerely glad your both safe and all of your hard work wasn't destroyed! Living in FL (some of that time at the beach) I know how bad it can be. I've enjoyed watching your adventure and hope it continues safely for many years to come. sending my best.

[@michaelmccarthy5624]

I can only echo all your KZbin family sentiments. Extremely happy you are safe.

[@tomkorn3124]

so glad you guys are okay. I was thinking about you all week. news up here in New England was it hit the island pretty hard. Praying for everyone in Puerto Rico. Stay strong !

[@dougdrinkwater5843]

Man, I was worried about you folks all week! There has been so much foreshadowing leading up to this storm. I'm glad the boat came through alright. Good on you for watching out for other peoples boats too!

[@vickimackzum5171]

We were so worried about you guys. So glad to see the upload and that you are okay. Be safe with the next one coming.

[@loisphillips5826]

So glad you are safe. Thanks for the update. Sure enjoy your videos ❤

[@johnhanson5943]

You make a breeze of a hurricane. Great preparation and thinking ahead. You’re becoming good at this! Best regards from UK/Germany.

[@donaldbrown9437]

Great job! Hope you get power soon! This is another adventure to remember! Thankfully you both and the boat came through in good shape. Take care!

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Good on you Matt for looking out for the oblivious neighbor that perhaps thought once he wrote a check for his boat there was nothing left to do but relax on it. I was an inland boater for 30 years and have saved folks I’ve never met many hundreds of dollars in damage too. It’s easy to tell the difference of insured and uninsured boats by walking down the dock. Happy to hear you made it through and I’m sure everyone, like me, thought about you kids and prayed for your well being this past week.

[@timquinlan6730]

Glad you guy’s made it through the storm safely and the boat too! When I seen the news about the island, I was like oh no Matt and Kristen’s boat. Again glad to see you made it!

[@raygibson3627]

We were so worried about you guys. Thank God you are safe.

[@cindi737]

Glad you two are fine and your boat is fine!

[@rockycestroni9272]

Glad you guys and the boat are safe.

[@undercoloroflaw]

Glad to hear the report that you guys leveled through it. We lost our Block Island 40 footer in hurricane Michael. It was a 1974 Bill Trippe design that had been sitting on the hard in a warehouse for the last 40 years. An old man bought her intending to refurbish and update her, he got sick and eventually died. She was a tough boat as she had built among the early fiberglass hulls made at the time, which were far, far thicker than anything today. We decked her out in style and she looked like a limousine. We put alot of work in her, just like you guys are doing. It hurt to lose her but some things are just outta your hands. Glad you guys are still topside....Ciao!

Thinking about you during the hurricane onset and I am pleased to see you came thru very well. 10 years in Bahamas a 4 hurricanes later, you can never take these events lightly. We done. Thoughts and prayers to the great people of Puerto Rico on yet another devastating natural event. Hopefully disaster relief from the federal government will not include basketball tosses of paper towels.

I see the damage Fiona is doing to Eastern Canada and just so happy to see you all safe. Your video brought a new understanding and respect for Mother Nature.

[@alpiazza4659]

Great to see you fared well in the storm. Unless you’ve experienced a hurricane first hand it’s difficult to appreciate the power and devastation. Most importantly you made it through without any physical injury and the boat looks like you did a great prep.

[@TR4zest]

Great prep from you guys, and able to help others and protect your mate's boat. Good job.

[@carvercebrun9454]

Glad you guys are okay. The boat looks great!!!
