This is when you are really appreciative that you have a warm cabin, preferably in the stern, and a nice book.

Great video. I'm reading the Hal Roth sailing trilogy about the power of the weather in Magellan and how they dragged anchor in a similar spot and ended up on the bricks. Awe-inspiring stuff...makes you fell alive back here in the smoggy city:)

Was it too shallow to move into the lee of the island on your port side?
-
Looks like great wind for advanced windsurfers. What was the water and air temperatures?
-
But... but... isn't wind supposed to be good for sailboats?!
LOL

Reading Slocum's book right now. Your video really puts his story into perspective. The wind really does blow that hard in the straights of magellan.

did u drag anchor? Did u set 2? Can u laborate?
Thanks. Nice vid.
Did not drag anchor. Did set 2 in a v-formation, a 45-pound CQR and a 75-pound Danforth (on a 40-foot boat) with about 200 feet of chain out in 20 feet of water. Just freezing cold and howling for a few days. Capt. Joshua Slocum holed up in the exact same spot.
