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.
Fantastic video! Storm preparations are always anxiety-ridden as you don't know what to expect. Preparing for the worse and hoping for the best is the way to go. That monohull cruising around after the anchor failed is a little disconcerting as you don't know how much fuel they have, and if they have no motor they have no directional control. Just glad your boat and the rest endured, unharmed.
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.
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.
I was, unfortunately, in Carriacou when Beryl hit us! Survived up to the eye, but after that 3 boats crashed into my port side, sinking my boat. Glad you made it out good 👍🏼
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 👍❤️💯⛵
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!
I'll admit seeing people like you guys makes me wish I would have been a little smarter or life would have handed me something different because since a very young age I've hated the Midwest and any time living here but my parents were here and moving back to the islands is not cheap. Now I'm a parent and husband so it's gonna be at least two more years before my boat sees water and we set out for half of the grand loop and get back to Tampa where I truly feel at home. Working a 9 to 5 has never been me and I'm about as far away as can be from what I thought my life would be in high school. The loss of my father and sister. Finding the right person to spend my life with. Having kids when I never planned to and was told I never would. I'd take a hurricane any day over a 3 month long freezing cold winter with snow and ice and being trapped in the house. Good luck to you guys and enjoy living together in paradise
Hey thank you for the comment! One thing I can say, is that we believe God always has a plan but at the same time you can not wait for the plan to come to you, you have to fight for it. When you feel like you are in a corner...take a step back and try to look at it from a 30K foot view. Its is always easier to see the map when you zoom out. Cheers - Cole
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. 👍❤️💯⛵🇬🇩
When tying up your vessel lines or ropes to mangrove trees, always look for short lengths of sturdy, strong ropes to use as strop’s. Tie, those lengths doubled up around the trees that then come out to just near the Water’s edge of the tidal creek . Then, with your vessel lines, slip them to go through the eye or the loop and then back to the vessel. This is so that you can adjust the lengths when required, and also slip them out, leaving the strops of sacrificial ropes behind on the trees to retrieve at a later time if necessary.
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
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
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.
We spent 43 days sailing from Brazil, passed Grenada with Beryl approaching, turned our bow to Spanish Waters, Curacao. If Beryl is the thin end of the wedge, predicted in an above average hurricane season I am so glad we are anchored in Curacao.
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.
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.
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.
A hurricane is only wind and water, without insurance for bush or wildfires in Canada or Australia. At least your home is still there some where? Thinking positive from Australia NSW 2371
Building codes. As someone who lives in an area that is subject to frequent hurricanes, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of rebuilding structures in accordance with modern hurricane codes. Yes, in the short-run, it is more expensive. But, over the long-run, it pays for itself many times over. Flimsy buildings don't stand a chance against even moderate strength hurricanes. They are just future calamities waiting to happen all over again in the next hurricane. The government of Grenada owes their citizens more oversight and guidance.
That actually is not universally true. If you live in a tin shack, you can put it back in few days. So there is some point in value/comfort of the house above which it is more economical to build better, but not below that.
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 🇬🇩 ❤️🩹
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
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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....
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. SV Saguaro
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

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.
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 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.
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!
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!
