that looks frightening !!!!!

Wow ! Where where you during the hurricane Ian? Somewhere in my “neck of the woods” (Ft.Myers / Cape Coral) ?

However, being anchored or on a good mooring was the better choice in this case…

Its crazy that small 5/8th nylon line did not snap.

who does shit like this???

























WHITE PEOPLE!

Any knowledgable expert mariner would never do that. Didn't your father ever teach you that it's not wise to get in fights with Nature? Odds are not in your favor. Fools

Thanks for sharing this experience, the behind the scenes of a hurricane and being on a boat, something I probably wouldn’t do but admire the courage

@darlajean1045 that’s some experience! How strong were the winds for you? When it came through NC we had 80 mph winds and it almost blew me off the dock here when I went to check our boat with my hubby.

That looks terrifying! I'm in the UK and hopefully buying a partially completed Richard Woods Skoota. Was there an alternative choice you could have made, or did you have to just sit it out? In the UK, I've never known wind to be so strong as to take paint off of metal. Crazy!

You've lost your mast!

Thank u for sharing.

I wouldn't want to be there in our 20 foot long and 7 foot wide sailboat

A lot of uneducated people that don’t know boats and hurricanes

God bless

Where's the hurricane?

Then they went ashore and realized it blew it all apart.
I bet they flinch the next hurricane.and run like smoke and okum

Dude says: that Betty jean that's the crazy for me!LOL

Well, look at the bright side. No mosquitoes or no-see-em's for about 24 hours.

I'll give you all the credit in the world for riding that out. Ole Captain Stupid here wouldn't even dream of it.

Put your. Finger over your speaker and play it in wawa. It's so Spookey

Stupid Stupid Stupid.

Multihulls are worse. I’d be concerned about taking flight ✈️
That bridle worked great 👍🏼

If you are in a boat, why not relocate out of harms way?

Unbelievable!!! I really think every boat should have that gear surely saved your crazy brave crazy lives!!

only a fool would stay there

Damn Fools for risking their lives and possibly putting First responders lives in danger. Many boats ended up on land. Stupid people!

I have to ask why you thought it was a good idea to ride it out on a boat when they have mandatory evacuations for the beach sides? I gentle breeze on the water makes me seasick forget doing it a cat 4 almost a cat 5 hurricane. Nope! No amount of money on this planet could get me to do that.

Would hardly call you brave, more like total i.......s.

Charlie completely took my home on the peace River. We rebuilt and sold the home & left FL. Absolutely no desire to go through anymore of that nonsense.

I know you think you’re cool and tough but it’s just really stupid and if first responders had to risk their lives to rescue ignorant people like you you’d be the first one to sue that they didn’t get there soon enough

who in the hell would think it's a good ideal to ride out a hurricane on a boat lmao

Staying on a boat in a Cat4 hurricane, not sure if that is having balls of steel, or just sheer stupidity, because no one is coming. So glad that you made it with no injuries and minimal damage. A lot of boats were not so lucky.

Thank goodness y'all made it. 🙏🙏🙏

Climate change is real, stop eating animals…

Well made boat!!

Please don’t watch this and think it is okay to ride out a hurricane on a boat. This is incredibly risky and it costs us Floridians millions of dollars every Hurricane to evacuate people who make these kinds of choices. Take it from a local never ever do this.

snowbirds doing stupid $hit

glad u guys are ok....but thats pretty fucking stupid

If I had to ride out the storm go to the basement or build a shelter under the structure, not on a boat. Nuts

WHY?

Genius

Brilliant

Wild!

Smart thinking. I have to invest in a boat.

Glad everything went ok for you,personally I would say that was stupid brave and I don't think any boat would have been worth your life. Alls well,ends well. Question is,would you do it again?

The wind blows like that on a daily in Kansas

man , Ft. Meyers got raped
