Thank you! I watched y'all's video from the storm and it was crazy to see all the boats on the rocks and wall. Glad you guys made it out unscathed as well!
Looks stressful dude! But also the mooring looked pretty protected from any huge waves and swells. Guess all that rigging experience came in handy - Alex
Have a look at the footage from the storm yesterday in Spain. Most the boats head sails unfurled. That's a easy prep man. I have seen many sails unfurl in my old age.
can you tell me why you had your tender a fair distance away from the boat? I would've thought it would be better close to the boat to try and maybe shield the tender from wind and waves. Is having close not a good idea for some reason?
Interesting point, that's just how it ended up as it was a rush to get everything else prepped for the storm. No bad reason why it could be closer to the vessel other than possibly hitting the vessel as it turns back and forth. Thanks for watching!
nice job, tip tho, if you are going to bridle a mooring eye, run 2 lines, one out and back on each side. otherwise you get that sawing action that has lost many a boat...
4:30 if you lead the dock lines through the eye of the mooring and back to the same side/cleat you will significantly reduce chafe
Yes I forgot to do that and realized it too late. Thanks for watching!
Glad you came out ok. Charlotte had a wild ride!

It was a wild ride for sure, but happy to have made it through. Thanks for watching!!
We rode it out in Charlotte Amalie, Crazy crazy night. Glad you made it through ok. We had several boats wash up on the rocks here.
Thanks for watching! Same to you, I saw the boats when I came into town. Such a bummer…
@@WheresWardoo looks like we might get another one in about 10 days
Interesting! I was wondering how Ernesto was and your adventure was the first video I watched. Thanks!
It was definitely a wild ride! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🙏🏽

Most definitely. Took all the preparations necessary and made it out all good. Thanks for watching!
Glad you rode through unscathed. Almost worth going 50nm+ offshore and deploying a Jordan series drogue.
Thanks ya we got lucky in Red Hook 🙏🏽 Thanks for watching!!
Nature’s havoc, this is a bad ass test! 🙌🏼
Definitely an unforgettable experience 🏴☠️

People who click on this do so to see the storm & boat in storm. Not face, face & more face. Exiting out.

I live in St Thomas US Virgin Islands it wasn't a hurricane until after it got passed Puerto Rico which is Miles and Miles Away
