It looks to me that you still have forward movement and the boat is not pointing up into the wind enough, potentially risking taking a breaking wave over the beam. I'm not saying you did anything wrong and the important thing is that your made it though, but it's just an observation. Maybe the camara angle just doesn't show it well.

If you want to get a man to pray take him to sea in a storm at night.

No sea anchor on-board?
MrDazzaMc 2 years ago
We had a sea anchor, but I considered it a last resort. We hove to with a heavy storm jib and trysail. If they had failed, I would have tried the sea anchor. But the storm sails (built in Germany 30+ years ago) held.

that had to be scary as hell, weren't you afraid of capsizing?
llamanator3000 4 years ago
I was mostly worried that the standing rigging would break, and the mast would go over the side.

yeh that would suck too. I'm saving up for my first sail boat. I've always wanted to learn to sail but never had the opportunity despite living on lake winnebego.
it's my dream to eventually do what yer doing now.
did you take on much water? were you able to sleep at all or was it 48 white knuckled hours of trying to keep the boat floating?
llamanator3000 4 years ago
were you able to sleep at all or did ya have to stay outside all 48 hours trying to keep the boat floating?
it's my life long dream to do that, saving up for my first sailboat now.

Astrid - thanks for posting this and the link to the Blog of Sea Scout. What a fantastic Window on sailing and the type of people who do it. I really enjoy this bit of storm film and your blog. As a new sailor is helpful. Cheers
