Sailing can be absolutely splendid, exhilarating and downright incredible. Beautiful sunsets, calm anchorages, drinks with friends and beautiful islands to explore. And then there is the other side...Violent storms, dragging anchor, huge waves, uncomfortable passages, the risk of your home drifting into another boat or worse, hitting some rocks, lightening and hundreds of other ways you and your boat can pay the ultimate price.
We experience a sudden and unpredictable storm that punches with all its might. Zephyr does well and holds her ground for a bit until the winds increase to tropical storm strength violently.
The worst happens and we break loose and start dragging. Watch to see what happens and how we manage to deal with the chaos.
Hope you enjoy the video!

If it won't move and it's supposed to, WD40. If it moves, and it's not supposed to, duct tape!

Mmmmmm.... 10:1 is normally great and you did nothing wrong. However the sea always teaches us lessons so from tomorrow, it will be 15:1. In any event, to have only dragged 50 feet is a great effort. Next time, during the blow, let out more chain. More and more chain on the ground makes the best anchor. Easier than having to pull up the anchor during a storm and then re-anchor. You guys did a great job and should be commended! Lots of love.

Thanks Alan! Great advice as always! We def will be doing that, we don’t want that scary situation happening again…although I’m sure we will at some point!

@vernholmes7940 2 года назад

Reminds me of the song "Riding the storm out." That is part of the price you pay for all the great things you get to enjoy and share with us. Glad the bimini did not take a hit. Keep on keeping on! Fair winds and following seas!

Cheers Vern. You are right. We gotta take the good with the bad. In the end it all balances out. Thanks for your support. 😀🤙

We got hit like that while anchored at Big Major's Spot at Staniel Cay in 2016. We've never put our rail in the water sailing, but one of the wind gusts that day did put the rail in the water. We cranked our engine to stay in place and watched a mega-yacht drag by heading straight for pig beach. They got it under control just before hitting bottom I'm sure, and when they motored by us all the crew was on the foredeck and looked scared as hell. Afterwards, we had to get in the dingy and go retrieve all our stuff that blew off the boat and floated to the beach! Enjoyed your video!

@SailingZephyr 2 года назад

Wow. That sounds hectic. Glad you were safe and the boat was okay. Good quick thinking with the engine. 🤙🤙🤙

The standard WD-40 "is not" conductive... A must have is the WD-40 Electrical Contact Cleaner!!! It cleans and leaves no residue and is conductive : )

@SailingZephyr 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip. We always love getting great advice like this to help us keep Zephyr well. 👍

@TheTonny1310 Год назад

You mention that you anchor with scope 10:1. Was it only with chain, or did you also use a snubber, was the snubber of nylon and how long was it??

@cestmoi1262 2 года назад

Relax, I've carved quite a few channels on a 25 ft boat in 2 ft water depth in the shallows around Tampa Bay. Not fun, but doable.

Bahamas are a test of nerves for sure.

I was just looking for a name for my baot, had an idea, googled it, and you poped up… yes, i wanted to call it Zephyr… I watched your last episode and decided to suscribe and follow your adventures from the start. Despite stilling my idea, i’m really enjoying your videos. Keep on with the good job !

@SailingZephyr 2 года назад

Wow thank you so much. We really do appreciate the support. Have a wonderful weekend. 🤙

Changing the name of a boat is considered bad luck in the sea going world. What i read anyway, The Sea Will Tell book by Vince Bugliosi. Buck was told it was bad luck but changed the name anyway. edit If you are superstitiious, google black pearl and hoop ear ring. If you run into trouble you can trade Poseidon a black pearl for your life. A hoop ear ring, Neptune will rescue you from the water. Some woman wrote a book about surviving a shipwreck in the Trashman yacht (owned by a millionaire in waste industry) She bought a necklace with a black pearl embedded in a hoop ear ring. She also throwed it in the water and lived to tell her story. One other lived. 3 others died.
