We did NOT expect to be dealing with THIS!! [EP 100]

[@prestondwhite]

I have been on a deployment in Beaumont Texas for the last 5 weeks or so due to the virus outbreak. We just had Laura skirt next to us and we had hunkered down within the city. Late in the evening I was like why did I not demand that my crew and I move an hour west or so. We weathered the storm and when we came out we had gotten lucky. We always prepare for the worst and hope for the best in my business and you two benefit from that practice as well. You guys are so precious and the world needs more of you... please always take the harder more cautious option.

Well that hurricane turned out to be a bit on a dud :-) Make sure after you get the new cutlass bearing in and the boat back in the water to check the engine and shaft alignment.

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Hi Guys, when I was there last year, I think that guy you were talking to had or work at a coffee shop that also did sailing things. He you had to walk with all my bags from there when the time had and he just took me in his car. What a love guy. If it was him can you say hi the thank him again. I was the one that stay in the coffee shop for about 2.5 hrs.

[@japc4326]

Always error on being on the safe side....good work and smooth sailing...John

[@timbolife]

Good luck guys, I think you made a good decision! Though would have been fun in the mangroves.... Another great honest video

[@Hairnicks]

Good decision even though the storm was a bit of a damp squid, after all, this is your home and a massive investment, you have to be careful and err on the side of caution. Happy days lovely pair.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Damp squid 😂 what a great saying. Thanks for tuning in! 🙂

Loved the footage of sailing to Carriacou. Boat goes nicely!

[@barbaralane9825]

Growing up, we took the boat of the mooring and hauled it when bad weather was forecast. Except for that one time...and it flipped on the mooring. Luckily it was the small motorboat and it was salvageable. Our neighbor wasn’t as lucky. 30 footer broke the mooring and flipped on the beach. Would rather do the work and it be unnecessary than deal with picking up the pieces.

[@Themanoutdoors]

Good luck you guys, looks like the perfect time for some TLC on the old girl too!

[@davidvigneux6929]

15:00 GENIUS!!!

[@joshcarlisle6792]

When I saw the storm track for Gonzola I immediately thought of you guys! You made the right call, I live near the coast of North Carolina and I've seen first hand what a mess Hurricanes and tropical storms can make and I live over an hour inland. It's all about managing risk and with 2020 turning into the year from hell I would not tempt fate! Glad it all turned out for the best. Awesome to see your 100th episode and congrats!

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

2020 is indeed a bit of a lemon! 😒 better to be safe than sorry, thanks for watching!

[@HARRRYVID]

Hope things work out. At least you both have each other to hold onto. Stay safe.

[@scubaseas1]

You can use your pole as it is but you would need to store it on deck which makes it very difficult to deploy and use . The ring car won't work for mast storage as you have found out. Save the spinnaker pole and just change the end of it to a "TS" socket. You really should have a toggle car which has a "TS" or universal joint type pin on it. I got a car off a Catalina 42 and swapped a pin over to it. You should have an Isomat NG86 mast and any Isomat car except the one that fits the NG150 mast will work. They are hard to find new and outrageously expensive. Keep an eye out where ever a hurricane passed through and used boat parts places and maybe you'll get lucky. RigRite in the States has new Isomat parts. Glad Gonsalvo passed without issue. Looking forward to the cutless bearing video. Glad you put the Bruntons in. Al V42CC hull#98

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks al, will keep an eye out for old mast parts, the spinnaker pole is too big anyway so will look out for some old parts and we can finally use it again!

[@scubaseas1]

@@SailingMillennialFalcon I had thought your pole looked a bit undersize actually. A 3" works fine if you fly a full symmetrical spinnaker. If too long you can cut the pole easily. If you are using it just as a whisker pole a line control pole works better but LC poles won't work in compression. i.e with a spinnaker. A full chute running down wind with the main sheeted in tight to control roll is a great way to go "downhill". Once you get used to (I mark my guys/preventers) setting the pole up it's pretty painless to fly a big chute if you have a snuffer. Used spinnakers are pretty easy to come by. Snuffer socks not so much.

[@rfunk727]

That would be a hard choice between and nice spot in a tight channel tied up to some mangroves or putting her on the hard. I do like the fact that they had the large concrete blocks to help keep her down and study during the winds. Good Luck!

Just finished watching your guys' entire playlist, keep up the great work! One for your Q&A session, Adam has referred to 'compression winds' on a number of videos, I think I know what he's getting at, but how about pulling out that pen and paper for a quick explanation? Cheers!

[@tbonemc2118]

After living through cyclone Tracy many years ago the success of your preparations are entirely dependent on the preparation of others in close proximity. Structures and boats that would have easily survived a blow are battered by someone else's poorly built or neglected whatever falling apart. My father was vey high up in the NT Housing commission at the time and he made the remark after the cyclone had wrecked Darwin that they should sue the government for damages because their houses had all been build by the cheapest shoddy builders to inferior standards and fell apart destroying commission houses. I clearly remember a hurricane in the Caribbean in the last couple of years where hundreds of boats and marina's were destroyed yet there were undamaged boats moored all by themselves out in a huge lagoon. Except for wind and rain nothing else hit them.

[@desolatemetro]

Sounds from the comments like the storm wasn't too bad, but there's nothing wrong with taking some extra precautions. That mangrove looked like a complete shit show, good call not going in there. I have a feeling Adam is secretly super excited that he gets to do the cutlass bearing too. :)
