Surviving Hurricane Beryl On Our Sailboat
Вставка

- This is our story of surviving Hurricane Beryl on our sailboat. In this episode, we find ourselves preparing for Hurricane Beryl, which has shifted its path towards Grenada, bringing with it the threat of Category 4 winds, rain, and storm surge. The anxiety is palpable as we and our cruising friends scramble to secure our boats and make crucial decisions to ensure our safety.
On July 1st, Hurricane Beryl, a Category 4 storm, devastated northern Grenada and its sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Not a single building was left untouched and infrastructure was destroyed. Spice Island Marine and the sailing creator community have joined forces to aid in the rebuilding efforts of these beautiful islands. This joint initiative aims to raise funds for tools, building supplies, and other necessary items to rebuild small businesses that were completely destroyed. Without these businesses, many have lost their livelihood and the local community cannot get back on their feet. Learn more about the initiative and donate here, every little bit helps. www.risegrenada.org/

We survived the strong Hurricane Beryl here in Jamaica, with our good anchor...thank God⚓️🙏🙏
Glad you two are safe and great video! I can’t thank you enough for your support after Hurricane Ian will forever be my hero’s thank you!
Thank you for providing this glimpse of Beryl from ground zero. Your livestream was also excellent. God bless you two and all impacted by Beryl.
I hope that help starts coming in to Granada and Curricao. I am happy that you were so well prepared and your anchor held.
So happy the Adventure crews are safe , those poor people who have lost everything, my heart goes out to them 😎🇦🇺😎
I was on Carriacou visiting with my family during Beryl. It was quite a traumatic experience for all of us. Not just going through the hurricane and the fear that brought, but seeing the absolute destruction of the place I called home was even more frightening. The complete and utter loss and devastation is almost more than one can bare.
Definitely a real life video, Emily and Cole. All you did for your own and sailboat home were well thought out. Nice editing with heart. Prayers and hope to the northern Grenadan islands. #sailing #risegrenada 👍❤️💯⛵
I was praying for those in the hurricanes path down south in Grenada and even now in Yuctan and S.Texas. I appreciate you including your prayer together, awesome. Continuing to pray for those so devastated and for any kind of relief and comfort for them. Glad you came out ok as a lot of other youtubers that head to Grenada to be safe from Hurricane season, ironically.
Definitely well done real-life video, Emily & Cole. Your plans for own security as well as your sailboat home were well thought out for sure. Prayers and hope to the northern Grenadan islands. #liveaboardsailors #risegrenada. 👍❤️💯⛵🇬🇩
Glad u guys r safe. Unbelievable what kind of devastation these beasts bring with them. Prayers and thoughts to those poor people.
May God continue to bless you and keep you. May He be a comfort to those in need. ❤🩹
Thank you for your video . And than God you all are okay . I can’t imagine being on a Boat riding out a Hurricane. On Land is bad enough. Been through 4 in Florida and wouldn’t wish the devastation on anyone. Praying for EVERYONE affected by this Hurricane.
You 2 made best decisions with what you had.. you were most definitely in the safest spit! Thank God your a cruiser and and can move your house... As scary as it is on a boat you had choices and made great decisions!
hey guys! It's Evan from Dacia. We met in the Berries. I'm the "sailing off anchor to get some starlink service guy" hahah!! I'm glad you guys are safe! I'm currently in Rio Dulce and was tracking Beryl pretty closely. I had plans to get to Grenada this season, I'm now pretty happy I chose to come here.
Emily and Cole, May God bless you and protect you always.
Keep God in the forefront of your videos. I’ve seen the mention of church and can sense your faith in the Lord.
Now, I’m seeing blessings, prayers and God in the reviews.
I’ve enjoyed your journey. Great videos, challenges, and the strength of God protecting you two through multiple hurricanes.
God will always protect you.
Aloha, I was worried about y'all; glad to know you're safe.
Ive lived in FL last 20 years and the anticipation.. anticipation nerves are the worst! I pray you made it othe side ok.
Thanks and I am glad you are save!
This video is fantastic and so well done. It should win some kind of award. Glad yall made it through.
I see Froggy, so thankful he is ok! My heart breaks for Carriacou and her people.
Much love and support from SC!
Thank you my friend!!
Nice to see that you were responsible enough to take down your sails, most think a roller furling means you don't ever have to deal with sails again... like idiots. That's why they get destroyed in storms.
Glad y'all are safe 🙏🏻
Praying for safe journeys and God's blessings on your lives
Glad to see all went well for you and the other boats.
That was a heck of experience for you guys. Can’t imagine me in that situation omg 😱. You guys going away from them to park the boat and finding a cat 4 in ground zero that’s crazy and wild! 😱 thankfully everything went well and now keep your plans going
Wow. I have been through some tough hurricanes, Hugo in '89 being the worst and I couldn't imagine riding one out in a boat. Glad everyone is safe.
Great coverage crew - Thanks for all your incredible efforts to support the local communities
Glad you guys and your boat are fine.
It didn't touch DR, but the sea was insane! On the south side.
I saw the videos, and some friends sent me pictures of the Malecon in the Capital. The aftermath wasn't terrible, but it lifted some concrete benches around the coast walk, that weighed a ton! Seeing that told me this thing was very, very powerful for lifting and throwing a few feet away benches made out of concrete that had been there for decades and seen many many other hurricanes previously.
Hope all is well, warm and dry. Sent by Sailing Zatara.
Wow, I am so glad you guys made it through that. I have seen many photos of our boat now. Next Chapter is the Lagoon 421 in the slipway in Tyrell Bay Marina absolutely totaled by Beryl.
Oh no guys, I’m so so so sorry about your boat!! Our hearts were broken when we saw it 😢 I pray you guys were in somewhere safe during the storm 🫶🏼
Also- we took some photos/videos of the boat as well. If you would like them send us an email at hello@theadventurecrews.com and I would be happy to share.
We were on a mooring ball out in front of Port Louis. We threw lines and headed for Trinidad at 4 am Monday. Glad we did, no damage, although coming into Trinidad at night is a bit stressful. Anchored in Cocorite at 10 pm and had a calm night. Smokyjim
a thorough engine check is a good prep also.
This makes me so sad. Sending 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
Great call on leaving the mooring ball on Prickly Bay. Unfortunately, it looks like several boats ended up on shore.
Definitely some wrecked boats there. Very sad to see
I’ve been reading up on mooring balls after this hurricane, and most of them aren’t rated for high winds 😞 I think they made the right decision to tie into the mangroves
Thank God everyone was safe 🤍🙏🏽🤍
It is so hard to know which way to go when a hurricane is headed to you. With Ian we almost had our daughter come down from Tampa to stay with us in Ft Myers, then we sent her up to Atlanta as the hurricane turned into a monster and we thought maybe we should move Reboot north up to St. Pete. Then we decided to stay put and spent the next few days storm prepping. Then our county declared a mandatory evacuation at 5 in the morning so we had to take our dogs and leave Reboot 😣. When we could finally get back through all the damage, the only time I cried was seeing her still afloat and mostly ok. We were very lucky, and my heart breaks for the sailors and the people of Grenada and Carriacou. I will help any way I can with RiseGrenada 🇬🇩 ❤️🩹
🙏
Personally when tying to mangroves I like a double bowline.
❤❤❤
Hurricane Beryl was a very unpredictable hurricane. I went from a named tropical storm to a named hurricane unleashing it's fury on islands leaving devastation in its path. Texas is now its next victim hitting shower as a Cat 3 i think. The weather systems are getting stronger and more unpredictable and stronger. They leave many lives claimed by its strength and many homes and businesses destroyed. The people of these hardest hit areas are resilient, but they know it going to be a long haul to get back what was taken. To these people i give my heartfelt condolences for the loss of loved ones and my hopes and prayers they do recover and rebuild these island paradises
Egmont is a good hurricane hole. Our friends who sheltered there said they never saw over 40 knots. Our boat in Clarke’s Court had no issues, but several friends had damage to their boats stored in Tyrell where sustained winds were 150mph were experienced. We are lucky the storm was not much of an event in the southern bays
@@captainrehab2047 are you referring to Egmont near Tampa/bradenton area? Don’t think so….
it will be at least 10 to 20 years before the island comes back...we here in florida had Ian which destroyed Fort Myers beach 2 years age and Michael in the panhandle 10 years ago and they are still rebuilding and both are here in the state... not a island far from help....
You are right remember Homestead Fl it took over ten years to come back. 💕✌️✌️✌️💕
Hey just found y’all love the baiting content but have to ask. If pup sails all the time with you where would it potty and how would you discard the goods? Just curious. Glad yall made it thru!
You are very lucky to have escaped the wrath of the storm. If it had wobbled even a little bit, as storms do, your outcome could have been devastating. Forecasting is not an exact science and to stay so close to the potential eye is not the best judgement for a skipper.
Trinidad is barely an overnight from where you are located and every boat that sailed there to escape Beryl is 100% safe. Why did you not take this option? This would be the choice of an experienced skipper with the safety of the crew and vessel at heart.
I was in St Vincent but couldn't get further south like Brandon. Next time tho
whoops for the stanchion. I couldn't imagine having to motor during the storm like the monohull.
There are some great knot apps available
I am trying to find the video that you and other sailors did about releife efforts. Can you put in description?
Hey there! It’s under “live” on our channel. There are 2 different live streams (because we had to restart the stream about halfway through because it went down).
Let me know if you still have trouble finding it!
Paid Actor style so cheezy
Shit guys, no transmission and unlucky early season hurricane. Glad you're OK! What's the plans for hurricane season? Some land travel? We decided pretty late in season we would hurricane hole in Rio Dulce, Guatemala. We have significant repairs we need to do, and this is now the best place to do it. Otherwise we would have been over there in Grenada! Although besides the hurricane, very glad we came over here. Rio Dulce is AMAZING. Highly recommend.
Very saddening to see Grenada. The people in Grenada (and especially Cariacou) are wonderful and such a shame to see the devastation. Grenada is where we started our sailing journey on Saguaro, and definitely a core memory for us. Been in touch with people we know from LTD Sailing about it and things to do to help out people we know who had businesses destroyed.

Hey bud! We will go home for a little while back to FL but now with the relief efforts we will probably come back sooner than we expected to help out. Check out RiseGrenada.com
May I recommend a copy of Ashley’s Book of Knots? It’s the knot bible.
I question your claim of 60 knot wind speed. We were anchored ahead of you in the middle of the bay and saw a peak wind speed of 36 knots.
Do you think what it was reading was accurate or do you think turbulence was caused by the hills? When I said that I was actually receiving a text from a boat just on the other side at Woodbun Bay that saw 60-66knts. We also talked about this with the other boats and everyone was saying it was nothing like the 30knt we had seen before.
What changed that you left where you were last night; I thought you stated it was the place to be..
We THOUGHT it was the safe place to be too (Prickly Bay mooring field) but as the weather changed we realized the right decision was to move to a well known hurricane hole about 2-3NM miles away.
All the boats in the hurricane hole made it through fine, some boats in Prickly Bay came off their mooring ball and crashed onto the beach/rocks.
@adventurecrews So, it has now passed you? Glad you feathered well..
Yes the storm was on Monday July 1st.
Do you guys a job?
Creating this video for you took over 40 hours worth of work so I would say we have a job. 😄 Thank you for watching!
Not really note worthy
You call that surviving hurricane Beryl, should have tried sitting through it in Houston with no power for days in this heat, consider yourself extremely blessed!
LOLOL You can NOT say HURRICANE when it is a STORM. LOL LOL Why did you NOT used saftevest in th storm etc etc. No one is there to help you,
Don't you just love how 'they' manipulate the weather; to cause devastation & destruction!!! HAARP..
Who’s manipulating the weather? 😱
@@adventurecrews
Don't go down that conspiracy theorist rabbit hole. 🤦🏻🧙🏻♂️🇬🇧
Keep it real and follow the science .. but it's going to get worse we've all done this and the ocean temps and air temps have been building up like a staircase .. sooner or later all that heat energy and water is going to find a way ... but it's not going to always follow the old patterns and rules.
Hope you get clear of the whole region and even then you're going to have to be prepared to get out from under multiple events. 🤞🏻
You were lucky this time now learn and apply it to life but don't forget its changing and Sea levels have and continue to rise.
Wow, talk about being dramatic… y’all really watched this footage back and edited it to seem as though y’all were getting in a “perfect storm” scenario… you have hardly strong winds for 30 mins. Get real.
You 2 made best decisions with what you had.. you were most definitely in the safest spit! Thank God your a cruiser and and can move your house... As scary as it is on a boat you had choices and made great decisions!
