Nothing like a proper tropical storm to check all the hatches and windows for leaks. Sounds like no issues. I'm surprised the Mooring posts did not have hooks to hold the lines up. You might have tied a short line around the top of post to hold likes up. I also have seen a lot of dock cleats pull out in storms and extra lines to the post is a good back up. The marina seemed well looked after though. Nice job keeping your new (!) Yacht safe! Cheers Warren ( in pa). We got 8" rain from that a couple of hours later........

8" of rain is a proper down pour! We had that at 4:30am and it was incredible to see that much rain falling. It was definitely a good test of all the hatches, non of which leaked a single drop! The Fishing Bay Marina was fantastic. The staff were very attentive and helpful and other than the pylon at our starboard bow, it was the perfect place to ride the storm out. Thanks again for joining our adventure. Stay Safe! ~Andy

Enjoyed your video...thanks for sharing. For many years I've tied my sailboat in a small "hole" in our harbor for hurricanes. I use 5/8" three strand nylon and tie it from the boat to neighboring oak trees. When Hurricane Katrina came ashore just west of Pascagoula, MS (my sailboat's homeport) we experienced a twenty plus storm surge and hurricane strength winds in our harbor. One line broke but the others held and the boat came out of it without a scratch. Ironically all the homes around my boat were destroyed. The shipyard across the river from our harbor (Ingalls Shipbuilding) suffered a billion dollars in damage. I've been fortunate that my boats through the years have ridden out many hurricanes without suffering any damage. But preparation is the key as is moving them away from docks.

@@sailingsvoliluki6938 The very first time I staged my boat in the new hurricane hole, the lady who owned a nearby house called the police. She didn't want a boat near her home during a hurricane. She expressed concern that the sailboat would come through her house during a storm. The officer, whom I knew, told her, "If you're crazy enough to stay at home during a hurricane and that boat comes through your house, maybe you should hop on it as it could save your life!" She hung up the phone and never called back.

I just got back from a nice sail on our local lake and lo' and behold, a new Sailing SV OliLuki video! Nice! It was quite ironic watching your preparations for the hurricane - double and triple checking your dock lines. It's a beautiful evening here in Canada, and I still double, triple and quadruply checked my dock lines before I left our sailboat tonight. I couldn't imagine the anxiety prepping for a hurricane, worrying whether or not you did enough with the dock lines. Job well done guys! And thanks for another great video!

Good job brother, be safe and see you on the next one. oh need to mention something.. next time when there is hurricane and if you happen to go check on your boat, please wear a life jacket, better than not having on you if you happen to go overboard.. because you can never know the power of wind..

Great video. Nice to see how you prepped for the storm. I was surprised you terminated the lines onboard (meaning you’d have to go to the pier to adjust them). We always did the opposite so we could adjust lines without leaving the boat....
@sailingsvoliluki6938
4 жыл бұрын
The bow and stern lines I could adjust from the boat but the spring lines were tied off on the same midships cleat making it necessary to remove one line to access and adjust the other. The direction of the storm would try to blow us to port and out of the slip. Because there wasn't a lot of wiggle room at the aft of the boat and the dock, my main concern was if the winds swung around, then trying to blow us into the slip. For this reason I tied the forward spring lines on the top of the midships cleat in case I needed to make an adjustment to that specific line on each side of the boat.
