We almost sailed into a TORNADO [Ep. 47]

We almost sailed directly into a tornado!!!
We truly couldn't believe our eyes as a tornado appeared at the entrance to the Panama Canal, right where we were anchored and directly in the path we were just about to sail into. We have already been contending with endless lightning here in Panama but this was a real shock!

I believe that's called a water spout!!! If there on water!

[@sailing.supernova]

Your right, we got the name wrong! we are still happy we didn't sail right into, looks like it would have been a bad time :-)

[@rbnhood39]

I’m so happy that you guys saved the Coco. Sweet little kitty.

[@sailing.supernova]

It was the right thing to do for sure. She is so cutie and loves to cuddle :-)

[@gavinflower587]

Good to see Coconut making progress. Those waterspouts looked mean but not as mean as the clouds and rain behind them.

[@sailing.supernova]

yea we are really happy it didn't hit us. it ended up being a great sail :-)

[@thebrokenbiker869]

Better to be safe then sorry with the weather... You guys did the right thing. Sit tight and hunker down... Keep being safe

[@sailing.supernova]

Thats what we thought to, but we weren't sure if it was going to come at us and hit us on anchor, in the end we got really lucky :-)

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! So glad Coconut is feeling better. Safe travels. ❤

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! Glad you are liking the videos :-)

[@JustMe1u2]

Coco looking good, thank you for taking such good care of her, love your content. Stay safe.

[@sailing.supernova]

She is getting the cutest little belly on her, we are working on trying to get he in shape and more active, but she just wants to eat and cuddle haha. pumped you are enjoying the videos :-)

[@sa777]

The cat looks so much beter ❤

[@sailing.supernova]

She is almost 100% better now

[@KB_OMeara]

I’m so glad to see the world wide cat distribution system found you! Coco looks awesome compared to when you found her!

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea Coco is doing so well! we are so happy :-)

[@TheSareus]

Found you guys because of the CoCo rescue mission video and have been coming back for 1-2 videos a night ever since. Looked up the MV Adonai and it apparently sailed from CRISTOBAL Port to LIMON BAY ANCH Anchorage in 2016 and never moved.

[@sailing.supernova]

A sad end for a good old ship! We hope you are enjoying our videos :-)

[@WanderingWilfords]

Nice slow sail. Happy to see Coco calming down and enjoying the boat more.

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea she seems to like it when the motors are off... same with us haha

[@yaronmartin]

I checked and MV ADONAI seems to have sunk on January 22th 2016, 8 years ago

[@sailing.supernova]

Any idea why it sunk? we were not able to find out.

[@williamcampbell6589]

That's not really a tornado. Here in Florida, we call them water spouts, until they hit land. Glad you were able to avoid it.

[@Reneeberry28]

A water spout is a tornado on the water

[@flyingcheff]

Tornadoes are only on land. Water spout is a more accurate name. A distinction that has other examples, such as "elevation" if you are measuring vertical orientation on land, vs. "Altitude" which is measuring in the air. Lots of fun! Loving Coco, she is so fortunate to have you, and you her!

[@sailing.supernova]

We didn't know there were called something different, But we are really happy that we didn't get hit by it, If it was 30 minutes later we would have been right there. Happy you are enjoying the videos :-)

[@aussiejeroen]

Coo-eeee! back from Australia 💖 2:42

[@sailing.supernova]

:-)

[@InspiredJJ]

Glad you guys didn’t leave early or you might have ended up in Panama Oz! 🤔

[@sailing.supernova]

yea it was a real lucky break for us :-) if everything had gone to plan we would have been right in the middle of the first one!

[@starnight4089]

Guys show anyone can do what you are doing ) with other channels I follow) with a little knowledge anything possible as long you have the skills and money well done you guys 😊

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@kristyblackwell7691]

Just came across your videos. First one was when you went to the little island and found Coconut ❤ . You definitely have a new subscriber with me, you both just made my heart so happy. I have rescued many little kitties over the years, and this just truly truly makes me so happy. Will be going back and watching all your videos. Wishin you all the very best and sending Coconut lots of cuddles.❤❤

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words! and thanks for doing your part saving cats :-) We hope you enjoy the videos, we made some really cool ones in Alaska :-)

[@curtishyde1842]

That wind bluff was mother nature's Way of testing your emergency response systems all is functional LOL

[@sailing.supernova]

That test could have been much different had it happened 30 minutes later haha

[@mattmeiners985]

Great show.... Thank you....

[@sailing.supernova]

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@Catalina58601]

Coco is looking so much better! She may enjoy a covered bed there in that cockpit. Maybe made out of a plastic storage container. I am so happy for her! Loving your channel so far!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the advice :-) We have a bit of a covered area, but she tends to just want to hang out close to use, most of the time she is just on the captains chair. Really happy you are enjoying the videos so far :-)

[@RicksRomzUK]

My dream life 🙏but with the £45 I have in my bank account its not happening just yet!!!!! you guys are so lucky being able to see all the places you're visiting, I follow loads of sailing channels and love yours!!!! you make a great couple both great personalities I wish you all the best on your travels and keep the great videos coming!!!!!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words :-) When we make it over to your part of the world drop us a line and we will take you out for a sail :-)

Great videos good down to earth couple great sailors u2 & coco cheers from australia mate looking good

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the support :-)

[@praeliora]

Linton Bay is the perfect place for boat jobs, with good access to the parts and materials you may need.. Parlay Revival was rebuilt there after major hurricane damage.

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea it is a sweet place to go for sure! The have the best boat shop we have seen in ages!

[@Makeitright531]

Waterspouts but still scary enough

[@brucerhodes8197]

yeah, no debris flying around, but you still have some nasty winds...

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea we got the name wrong, would have not been fun to get hit, but it was really cool to see!

[@sailing.supernova]

Yea it looked like it would have been not fun at all

[@cuocsonglangnoigogang]

Your adventure nearly sailing into a tornado is thrilling and shows your courage on the water! Your storytelling and footage capture the intensity of the moment perfectly. Thanks for sharing this exhilarating journey-it's both nerve-wracking and captivating!

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps for the kind words We are really glad you like the videos :-)

[@Spanionsblock]

Looking sweet darcy 😎 epic water spout -collin

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks heaps :-)

[@StealthCampADL]

I was suggested the episode where you find Coconut, now I'm hooked. I know the Cat Allocation system can be quirky sometimes, but this is one of the more oddball ones I've come across. :D

[@sailing.supernova]

haha it got us by surprise for sure, but we are super happy with how it worked out :-) Happy you are enjoying the videos :-)

[@seancasey2444]

I call them water spouts here in South Florida they are common.

[@sailing.supernova]

We didn't know they had a different name on the water, we are very happy that it didn't hit us, those winds looked wild. Didn't know they were a common thing in Florida, it must be hard for boats when they pop up!

[@SC-uf5bc]

Hi yall 🤠👋 from Texas

[@sailing.supernova]

Hey :-) hope you enjoyed the video :-)

[@jeffreygilchrist1330]

😂 na water spout and the longer you sail the more you will see , not really dangerous but better to keep away from them cheers love your energy

[@sailing.supernova]

We didn't know they were called different things on water, it looked like it would have totaled our boat if it hit us, we were really happy that we missed it :-)

[@steveironside7255]

It’s not a container Vessel. It’s a general cargo vessel, could haul logs. With big hatches probably coal or fertilizers.

[@sailing.supernova]

Its crazy how small it was compared to the new ones! but when i was on it, it felt huge!

[@edug1168]

Your boat 's Pink.

[@sailing.supernova]

That makes it hard to steal haha

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you. But you two need to get scuba certified, gear, and dive! So much more to see underwater.

[@sailing.supernova]

We have a dive compressor on board, and we also freedive, I can get to about 80 feet and Darcy can get past 100 feet when freediving. We will try and get some good freediving in a video soon, but they don't let you scuba dive in the san blas islands.

Waterspout

[@sailing.supernova]

We didn't know it had a different name on the water, we were very lucky that we didn't get caught up in it! :-)

[@MarkBates-e5y]

the wreck was a small genral cargo vessel, Not a containerrship, Possibly the VFM Alita?

[@sailing.supernova]

it was the Alita, not sure why it sunk, might have just been left there for a long time then went under

[@1425race]

What sort of surgery does Coco have to have and will she make a full recovery afterwards?

[@sailing.supernova]

She needs to get spayed but she had an infection that makes it very complicated to do that, she has been on 3 courses of antibiotics and is almost ready to go under the knife. if everything goes well she will be 100% healthy within the next 2 months :-)

[@sandybinbedford5512]

I noticed on another channel that they have two cats . Those cats actually lean over the side and watch dolphins . Maybe coco will also eventually not need the leash ?

[@sailing.supernova]

She is pretty chill about the leash, she just hangs out with us the whole time anyway. when we get into some longer sailing passages she will be free to roam inside, but my guess is she will only go inside if someone else is inside haha :-)

[@janaferreira8882]

❤

[@sailing.supernova]

Thanks for the support :-)

[@jimgarvin9159]

It’s a WaterSpout Only.

We didn't know it was named different on the water, We are super happy that we didn't get hit because that would have totaled our boat, it was super cool to see though :-)

[@helenastanton7055]

What is written all over your table in the cabin

[@sailing.supernova]

Its a list of all the jobs we had to do in our big refit. We only made the table to put in there as a temporary table, but we really like it now :-)

falling through that rusty deck would have spoiled your travel plans. better to be safe than sorry.

Yea i told him it was a dumb idea... it was fun but was it worth the risk?

Was that a old pirate ship ? Did you find any treasures?

lots of old broken rusty stuff, none of it worth any money haha

Bro, no tornados in Phuket, just saying😎

haha one day haha, man I miss Thai food !

Seeing waterspouts in your way is always a good indication you should be hitting the brakes!

[@sailing.supernova]

30 minutes later and we would have been right there! we got lucky :-)

[@carltontweedle5724]

Was the twister over land or sea, at sea waterspout on land tornado. But what ever stay away. How is Robinson oh sorry Coco doing on a moving boat.

[@sailing.supernova]

It looks like we should have called it a water spout, as it was over water, we got very luck as it would have caused major damage to our boat if we had left on time!

[@Djdj-kd8ue]

Rite On!!! I'm burning up also,airs been out 3yrs now, so me & my 4-legged girl Ava just been packing our cooler, get n n vehicle,crank n AC & watching UTube

[@sailing.supernova]

Sounds like a great trip you have been on! The heat can really get to you sometimes, AC can be so good!

[@Steve-qn8gn]

Is that a tornado or a water spout?

[@sailing.supernova]

I think we were wrong and its called a water spout, but the winds are the same in both, just the water one doesn't toss a bunch of stuff on you, it still would have totaled the boat if it hit us, we were lucky we were late leaving :-)

[@claycassin8437]

That's not a tornado. It's a waterspout. Waterspouts are actually less dangerous, though you still would not want to sail into one.

[@sailing.supernova]

Looks like we got the name wrong, yea less stuff flying around but something tells me you are right and it would suck to sail into one, we are very happy we were running late :-)

[@originalwolfrider]

ok , wheres the music coming from ??

[@sailing.supernova]

Which song? we get all our music off a site called artlist. it costs a bit of money but we really like the number of songs on there :-)

@@sailing.supernova around time stamp 6:07 while you were on one of the wrecked boats it sounded like you were walking up on someone listening to a radio lol

[@ralph9987]

This comment isn't meant to be disrespectful, purely an observation. We really enjoyed your channel when you guys first started. You were both sincere, natural, and entertaining. Unfortunately, as you have grown, somehow you have thought that you need to laugh and giggle after nearly every comment. It's over the top and doesn't suit you very well. It's unnecessary, and we truly hope to see the natural duo that we so enjoyed previously soon.

[@timalete]

Still the most smiles per nautical mile.....Their KZbin reality. Causes me to laugh along with them, often in the face of adversity.
