Slowly catching up in 2023 - this was quite the experience, glad it worked out so safely for you
I know this is four years old, but, SERIOUSLY!! MAJOR respect for your careful planning and excellent damage prevention strategies!! That Mantis anchor is phenomenal!! Of course, the perfect clay bottom doesn’t hurt a thing, but seeing the holding power you had going on there, Dan ... and the storm footage just BLEW my mind!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Give you guys this, still after so many years I started watching you guys, when it was still just fixing uma up. You have the best mindset, so many others motor under 3knt, hurry this way, hurry that way! Few, too few adopts the concept of "sail time" better.
Dan, you are a true seaman and you are so practical like the tire repairman utilizing every possible way of problem solving without spending tons of money. Hats off to you sir Dan.
I 've been binge watching your vlogs since step 1. love every one of them. I learned a ton of knowledge from Dan and Kiki. Hope one day I would be sailing in a form or shape of sail boat. thank you.
After watching a bunch of sailing channels it's nice to see someone without a million dollar boat.
Thousands of us dont have "million dollar boats
@@Outrageousconduct Ok sorry, a lot of the boats are closer to 750K.
@@nickjunes I bought my sailboat for 250k 65ft Bruce
@@Outrageousconduct That's a pretty steep and big boat. I don't think that puts you into the category of DIY budget sailors.
Yeah these two are self-made sailors and DIYers. Much more inspiring than these trust fund babies sailing when it suits them.
It seems that in so many ways, sailing is a Zen exercise.
Looks like Mississippi River mud. My back yard looks like that. Probably hundreds or maybe thousands of years ago my back yard was river bottom. I’m located about 9 miles ( as the crow flies ) from the Mississippi river. Great video 👍👍✌️
Hello, imagine I spent 12 hours watching this channel😀😀😀👌
Instead of hauling chain thru chocks I drop a noose around the chain, let it sink deep, cinch tight with a snap, haul line until nooose reaches the chock and set another deep line/noose, release top noose, then repeat. When you get to the anchor most of the chain will be up. A roller also helps but isn't reqd.
You're a good sailor....batten down the hatches secure the deck. I liked you were wearing your safely harness. On the night watch alone on deck its a good idea to wear it. But that's my military training.
That anchor you have is the best !
I'm very impressed you were able to do all this by yourself.
Bravo
Agreed. Great job Dan
Yes, as a former professional Captain sailor, boat dealer, rigger, and everything else you can do to make your living doing this, I am very impressed with your preparations, but most with your explanations about how we keep from boredom like others thin. Everything is a learning experience. Your description of the type of muddy clay bottom is the kind of thing that jolts our interest within the subject of anchoring, and your choice of ground tackle, and placement are fitting of Chapman’s Piloting and/or The Annapolis Seamanship volumes. I hope you have a devoted lady crew that really decorates you heart as well as your deck. (P.S..... you understand)
And YES, I see, you do indeed have that quality deckhand. An Allie that is the kind that we all need. And indeed a decoration too... you young man, have your boat brain open and secured correctly. We will watch your career with great interest.
One of the best things about Uma are those Andersen winches, they are top notch gear and they look like pure boat jewellery as well!
This is one of my favorite vids. Demonstrates that sailing is not pure glamor and has its dangerous side. Glad you made it it through in one piece. Respect!
I decided to watch you guys from the beginning and let me say. You two are amazing people with amazing hearts. You have inspired me to try to sail. By the way Dan awesome job with the hurricane!!
Well done.
Always amazing how you see pictures of wrecked yachts, genoa on forestay, Bimini up and maybe a dinghy having off the stern.
Out of interest, how far did the gusts lay you over? I have seen yachts in UK, laid almost horizontal
thank you very much .i needed to see your prep for the storm,what a great job , maybe we will meet some day out there.your vito should help many sailers in need to see how to get it right from my puppy toby and bob
....sorry! Forget to congratulate for the heavy and effective work you did to face the storm all alone. Bravo!
I’ve never seen a vlog from inside a small yacht during a hurricane, I remember this hurricane in Haiti 🇭🇹 it was fairly destructive, I’m currently binge watching your channel and I find it very informative and entertaining
I needed that quote today. Have been having so much anxiety about an upcoming project I am working on in one month. And I just realized I have to prep as much for it as I can so that I remove as much of the dangers of it failing.
This was super, so glad you were OK during the hurricane. Good that you prepared so well for it.
I know I'm way behind on your videos, but I love what you guys are doing! I can't wait to catch up!
Really great job in doing all the storm prep solo and still capturing great video at same time. A feat in itself.
Firstly thanks for reloading the video.👍I take my hat off to you, you were very well prepared and had clearly thought through in great detail your hurricane plan. You were justly rewarded for your excellent seamanship. You made light of the anchor recovery.😉😀👍⚓️
That is one kickass anchor. Good that you can stow it by dismantling the anchor
Wow, I just looked at the track for Matthew and it went right over where you were anchored. That's crazy. You did so great managing all the risks. NASA would approve (my dad is a NASA engineer and he's always talking about risk mitigation strategies).
Great job Dan. Glad you guys made it out of the hurricane safely. Cheers.
Good job Dan, those all seemed like thoughtful decisions on your part and you made it through unscathed !!!
Your amazing from where you started to now wow.. I've never known anyone teach themselves so many techniques and innovations and kika wow what a p0werful empowering woman, keep it up👍😎
Great couple! Impressed!
Thank you for sharing your experience in the storm. Strangely emotional for me I have been through a few 100 mile an hour storms on Bering sea and the sound of the wind was awe inspiring.
Great. Thank you
Sweet. Got the whole thing now. Cheers.
"I got all day to go 6 miles."
I love the fact with in your courage you vedio it for other I new you where you was going to get hit great prep
Good investment on that manta. Being able to take it apart and bury it then dig it out when you really need it. I'm gonna be keeping my eye out for that bit of gear for sure.
gift
Well prepared and executed. Helpful vid!
we have followed you and think that you are so awesome. You have over come many things. We will keep following you. Stay strong.
Well done Dan! I agree time can end up having very little meaning on the ocean (but your next shot sailing with wind is also great fun :-)!) Another great video!
Wow, soo knowledgeable on sailing. Very interesting to watch. Be Safe Captain!!
Uma Thanks for the re load, at 1:24 the last time i knew i was missing something. Fair Winds
Good sailing technique brought you through,well done.
Nice 4 part series. It would have been nice to get a report on how the other sailors fared at your anchorage especially the ones that dragged on anchor as well as seen if anyone needed help. Thanks for the video. You did a great job handling a very stressful situation. Well done Dan. Fair Winds Uma.
Great video. Lucky you are young and fit. An old guy like me might struggle but, as they say "where there is a will there is way". Like your approach to adversity.
Wow, going thru that alone. Must have been hell each worried about how the other was fairing
I know someone who is very close named UMA. And lovely music mate. Cheers
Bravo. Great job. Very well done. It pays to have a plan and execute it.
Wow mate, that anchor was a monster, great job... Glad you guys came through that thing ok. Cheers for now, looking forward to the next one... ;-}
You are awesome!
you're a survivor, great job! :-)
great prep work!
I like your saying about fear and danger. Its like, luck is just opportunity and preparedness.
Amazing
I was wondering if it was my phone that was acting up. Thanks for fixing it. 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this hurricane series. It may seem odd, but I'd have really enjoyed being on board with you for this, more so than anything else, short of an ocean crossing.
Speaking of, do you ever take on crew?
No idea why this isn't over 100k views. Best boat vid I have seen in weeks. New sub.
Great video.
Dan, I respect your skills. I will crew for you any day.
Great video. Í watched the video anchored for the hurricane. You're very brave. I watched with interest because some day I won't be able to escape a storm like that. Lucky you found that spot better protected from the wind and waves. And yes, removing the solar panels was definitely the best idea. I'm working on a sketch to make a small companionway hood on my boat because I would have removed the dodger as well. But in your case, there's no way to keep the water out, and some protection. And for power, Im separating the engine battery so it's not part of the house bank because given how tired you looked, I would have prefer to motor and let the autopilot do some work. That Mantua anchor is huge. They are expensive but worth their weight in gold. Fair winds and stay safe.
The beginning of your videos with the boat horn reminds me of that Reicola cod drop commercial. 😂 ✌️
amazing !!!!
That dingy is fantastic.
glad you had that monster anchor. nice video, thanks for sharing. best form Hong Kong
Laurent Froggy
a channel so good I don't mind watching it twice :)
+rezo Awe, cheers :)
Wow, when you see you pull the Mantis on deck…it is humongous
…. you did a very good Job, really!
That is the mud you want for bait balls. Just mix in the cat food. Great vid!
@ 10:48 you drive past a Privateer Renegade, funny seeing a Carolina boat outside of the states.
My uncle sat out Hugo in the USVI, 50 boats in anchor, next day you couldn’t find 1 boat left in the anchorage. Every boat was little splitters all over the beach. The thing a remember about the video was the noise, it sounded like a train was coming through their living room. They have never stayed for another hurricane.
Hello to both of you, I just finished binge watching and really enjoyed learning of your experience and have great admiration for your love of the sea. I do wish you both well. By the way I was only able to see up to 214. How to get the rest?
It would have been cool to keep that little chunk of clay and make a little sculpture. I hope you will never have to experience a hurricane out in open waters, but I imagine you guys plan very well around that. As far as being bored... I suppose some people would, but there are always things you could find to do. Plus it’s good to have even a whole week of doldrums because there will be those times you may have days of non stop battling wind and waves too. And you can always fish and re-stock the fridge!
I envy you the time to wait for the wind to return . It always does but for us still on the clock we can not always wait .
Hey guys! Love watching you. What's up with that cleat hitch? Is that a unique spin on the 'two rivers one bridge' concept for additional support in a hurricane? Love learning from others - just curious :-)
Nice job Captain......................Jack
You are agreat sailor.
Best Wishes
Hey! Like your video! :)
That's a massive anchor
I love you two driving with your feet lol 👣🐾
Impressive
Well, that step had my adrenaline pumping by proxy. Ever thought of turning pottery on the boat with that clay? 😂
Regardless of the road blocks, Dan will find a way to get it done.....he is similar to a real life MacGyver!
One definitely needs good McGyver skills in this type of life!
How is that foldable boat treating you? It looks awesome, such a good idea. What size did you get?
Looks like 8ft Porta Bote
HI: What led to your decision to leave the dodger up during the blow? Kind of impressive it didn't get shredded....I suppose if the blow is on the nose then it takes the hit as intended...Still....Hurricane force winds and all....
PS: Bravo on your project. This is what a Standing Ovation looks like in type...
I like Dans “Okanuis” perfect for 🇳🇴 sailing
I still don't quite understand how you used the halyard and whisker pole to hoist up the last 20 feet of anchor chain. Did you sort of haul on the pole end to create a boom crane effect?
Good seamanship. BZ
huge second anchor
For the life of me ive looked everywhere and tried everything i can think of.... What song are you using in the background for the video lol. not the copyright free one from youtube but the one throughout the video. Much appreciated keep it up! Loving the series
You are a true hero! thank you so much!
this was re-uploaded correct? wither that or I'm losing it coz I remember this step
Tf
where did you get the motorcylcle from
How did the other boats in the anchorage fair?
Where do you get your food and water?
Did anything happen to those boats that were dragging anchor during the storm?
+fillg Not that I could tell. They're pretty tough little boats.
"Only 50 Watts" .... we lived on 80W with 5 aboard (2 adults + 3 kids) for 4 months :D
I may have missed it, but wonder why -- with all the preparation -- you seem to have left the dodger up during the worst of the storm.
So I could keep the hatch open and breathe/film. If it got too bad I was ready to collapse it and had tie downs already rigged. Pull two pins and the whole thing flips forward.
@@SailingUma Lead my the Dodger up was the only issue that lost you marks, otherwise excellent prep.
Well done on the efficient recovery of Big Bertha. The nay sayers silenced.full stop.
'Lead my' should read Leaving. I lost marks there 🤔
Did the hail cause any damage to the solar panels? It appeared that you stored them right side up on the deck.?
No hail. Just heavy rain. But also the glass they are made out of is pretty tough stuff. Designed for all sorts of natural phenomenon.
Wondering what happened to the wooden yachts in the anchorage
Some ended up in the mangroves, but they all survived fine.
Hey the fear/danger equation is fucking brilliant, but couldn't find it. If ya got a minute, can you repost here? Love to read it. Thx!
Where did you get the rig for the solarpanels?
They fabricated it. Watch the previous videos.
Whats that song at 5:20 ?
