- We wanted to give you guys a little but of what we have been going through the last couple of days. We are alive and happy that we are still here. Unfortuney Mischief did not make it but we are already starting to look to the future holds for us. There are still lots of people that need help in St.Maarten. We hope our new friends all make it out of there safe and sound. Once again we are so lucky we are still alive! If you would like to help us during this time we would really appreciate it. We currently don't have much, we just lost an amazing home and boat. Thank you everyone for the positive support

Thank God you kids are finally safe! So sorry for the loss of your boat, but it is something that can be replaced one day. Your lives will be forever changed by this experience as will all of us who lived through you. I hope you get back to state side sooner than later and reunite with your loved ones. Keep us posted.
Every year for as long as I can remember, it's the same thing over and over again. People never learn. July 79, I pointed me bow north, wintered in Newfoundland. Lost a good friend to Hurricane David. Ever since then, come mid to end of july I go north or south return in january depending on conditions. Those that know and those that think they know. Lots of wrecked boats every year in the carib belonging to those that think they know
I'm so sorry that you lost Mischief, but the most important thing is that you are alive & well. She is can be replaced while you cannot. Rest up, get back on your feet. Keep us posted as there are many here who care about y'all.
I've never been so worried about people I've never met. I'm so happy you're ok (sort of) and are out of there. Sorry for the loss of Mischief. Good luck with whatever comes next. Thanks, for the update.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Fight back and recovery to resume your dreams. Our boat is on the hard in BVI and hope beyond hope that she is recoverable after Irma, but it's not looking good either. We will rise again!
I've been watching your videos from the beginning and I'm so sorry that Mischief is no more. That said I cannot tell you how relieved I am that you are safe. Best of luck in the future and I hope to see you on CZcams again in the near future.
I am so sorry you lost Mischief. So much hard work went into her. I hope you find another to continue your journey. Safe travels.
Again, thanks for bringing awareness of this devastation to the world! And so sorry for your loss. Peace and Love.
I'm Speechless...So sorry for the loss of your boat and your home; theres no words to express what I just watched from LAS VEGAS NV. Please take care of each other on your journey forward and be strong. Thank you for taking the time to video and upload this traumatic event of your lives. God Bless! Mark
I've been hoping to see an update like this from you guys for a while. You don't know who I am, I feel like I've gotten to know you through your videos and think of you like friends. I so sorry you lost Mischief. I'm very relieved that you're still safe.
We are so saddened that Mischief did not make it. Thank God you two did. Watched your videos tying her up and riding out the storm. My heart hurts for you two. I've had to go back to the dock a few times here in Mobile, AL and hope my boat is there. I can't image the pain of seeing her gone. Prayers for you and hope things turn around for you.
Well it has been an expensive lesson, that many viewers can learn from. If you want to go cruising you need to learn where and when to sail, this is a classic case of the wrong place at the wrong time.. What will you do with Mischief..? Did you locate her? She has to be there somewhere and some one will have to deal with the wreck, you can't just walk away and expect the Islanders to sort it...
Rustie yes I would have thought they would still own it even if its underwater ..
Spot on reply. This is the real value of all these CZcams sailing videos. Most of the time we see what to do right and what to expect when we do. This time we saw a move into an untenable situation and what can happen when we don't. The right thing to do in this case was what SSL did. Saw storm coming, sailed to Grenada. He's a much more experienced skipper tho. Lesson learned.
Thank you for the update. Irma just past directly over me last night but was only a Cat1 by then. I'm glad you guys are fine but sorry you lost your boat. Take care and keep in good spirits.
So sorry that you've been gone through guys... Thanks god you are safe. It probably will take little long but you'll have another "Mischief" for better days...
Be strong and stay safe... Love from Turkey...
I'm so sorry for your lost of your boat! Just think. You all are alive and that's what is most important!. Xoxo
Wishing you guys all the very best and good to see you are safe . My heart goes out to all the people of St Marrten.
I am so sorry for you guys, I am glad that y'all are safe and hope that you can recover from this terrible thing that has happened. Best wishes from Arkansas!
So glad u got out!! I'm so sorry about Mischief. Glad to see the US step up and be so well organized for its citizens.
I hope you will continue to keep us lookee lous informed. So sorry this happened to you two. Hopefully some good will come of it. For one you are alive and well. That's a pretty amazing start.
Glad to hear and see you are OK and terribly sad to see Mischief did not make it thru. Adventure on and Life will point you there!!! Cheers from Alaska
Thanks for the update, glad y'all are okay but sorry about the boat.
Wow..... So, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Boat but so glad you are both well.
Glad y'all made it outta there. Pray another boat is in your future. Good luck and God speed.
So,Glad you people are ok! and a healthy way of acting and looking at what you just wet through...
talk about bitter sweet! Glad your ok but sad that your dreams are shattered for now, but you still have each other and a future. sorry about the boat but happy your ok. Love from australia!
I'm so happy that you are all safe. Sorry about your home/Boat 😕😢 Hugs
Very sorry about your loss.. But soooo glad ya'll are ok!
Happy you're safe. Loosing your boat, home & dream is devastating. What a lousy break, hope you figure out your future, hope you had insurance, being a boat owner hurricane insurance can be a tricky thing. Please keep this channel and update with future plans. Good Luck, Vinny 🇺🇸
Stay strong, you two have become family wr feel,as if we know you all so well thru your videos. You are safe boats can be replaced lifes cant we are so glad your safe
Thank you for sharing this footage and for taking in Ken and Laurie. They were so close to coming South with us to Trinidad but their engine problems prevented that from happening. I had been so worried about them. Thankfully they are now back in Canada.
I'll be sailing up through the islands from Trinidad starting next month. If anyone knows of an organisation I can contact in regards to carrying out voluntary work to help rebuild the communities please let me know.
Stay positive and take one day at a time.
I am so sorry you lost your boat but we are so pleased you are safe! Sending calm seas from singapore.
We are all with you! We have been where you are. Katrina hurt us but we made it through. The important thing is that you all are safe. material things can be replaced but you can't!
Thank god you all are alright. Be safe and don't worry about trying to get the videos out. You two are more important then a video to stay alive. Take care. This will all be done soon.
Great to hear your well. Your lives are more important than any boat. I know you loved her, but there are others to replace her. Stay safe and get home to your family. this is one for the books. You survived it.
Loving my friends and family in Puerto Rico!! They will give you the shirt off their back any day of the week. We know so people that are doing everything they can for the neighbors in this beautiful region of islands. ;)
So sorry for your boat, Be Safe ❤️ Carrie On Good People 🦋
So happy your safe, sorry for the loss of Mischief
U R alive!! Awesome!!
I hope there are happier days for you guys ahead. Stay safe.
Glad y'all are safe! I'm so sorry for the loss of your boat and most of your belongings. No cheery pep talk here. This really sucks. Just know lots of people are praying for you.
I'm so sorry . . . I can only imagine how devastating this must be. But you are alive!
You guys hang in there! Minor setback. Minor! You never know what's just around the corner for 'ya!
Sorry for your loss keep your head up good things come to good people
Looks and sounds like you guys got served a huge slice of humble pie...good life lesson huh?
Glad to hear you are safe. Sorry to hear about Mischief
A really emotional episode. I glad you are safe. I can't believe you had to pay for the evacuation though and the hotel you are evacuated to. That's mad. Best of luck with whatever comes next
So glad that ur safe. We hope to see more inspiring videos as you regain stability and inspiration. Cheers for now. sv Inspiration.
One of my guys from the Amityville Volunteer Fire Department was your pilot. Glad you guys got out safe!
Glad you are safe. Shower never felt so good ? Look forward to future updates.
So sad to see the end of Mischief thankfully all of you a safe.
I have been waiting for this video. SOOO happy you both are alive.
me too. every day I would log in and check to see if I missed a notification. I hate what happened but so thankful they are ok.
Glad you're safe regardless!
At least ur both alive , I know that does nothing for the loss of Mischief. I'm guessing She was not insured. Really sad she is gone I really enjoyed seeing your videos.loved your intro song. At least you've been there and done that , makes for some excellent stories
Happy to see this update. Glad you are well and can start over. How did your parents fare?
Guys it sucks you lost your sv :( Nonetheless I´m glad to see you guys alive and apparently in good spirits. Keep strong!
OMG, I am so sorry that you lost your boat but at least you are safe. I cant believe you got charged to be evacuated.
Hate to hear the worst for Mischief,glad you three survived its as bad back home but God Bless America and THE American Red Cross . Hope to see your adventures again
You've got your health - everything else is replaceable. Sending you best wishes.
I'm happy to see that all three of you are safe that's what is the most important the boat can be replaced but not your lives. Look forward and find a new one when u can and keep sailing and living your dreams.
Sorry for bummed out hurricane, but you are not hurt your alive and you will get another boat. Just don't let it get you down. Now you fine out how your made.
Glad your safe.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It brought tears to me eyes, yet again. Sorry about Mischief, but you are alive and things will get better!
very glad to finally know you guys are ok! have you heard from any of the other sailing channels that were anywhere close to this devastation?
As long as you are safe. Boats come and boats go.
Having recently survived Harvey here in Houston, I can related just a little to what you have experienced. Our home ended up being fine...but we spent 5 days in a hotel just to be safe because our apartment is in a very low lying area...we had 8 feet of water in the intersection just out side our hotel, which is about 2 miles south of our apartment, and just two miles north of us, many of the stores took on multiple feet of water, but miraculously, we were dry and thanking God for watching over us. That said...we still want to move to higher ground as soon as the Lord makes the way for us to do so...I've not worked in quite some time (not because of the hurricane though), so right now we can't even buy groceries.
So I guess you guys got out ahead of Jose? It looked to me from the news reports that Jose hit St. Maartin as well..but I've never been able to find any videos about that. I can't believe the government charged you for the flight...that boggles my mind...hoping you might find a way to get reimbersed for that.
Blessings to you and yours!!
So sorry you lost your boat. I never been in your shoes were I lost everything. But I am disable and it not fun. You are young and have your health. That storm you could have been hurt and have to live the rest of your life or you could have been killed. When things clam down and you can think right you will come up with a plan.
Thank you so much for the update. We lived through Katrina, and absolutely understand what you're going through. When we hear on the news that things are so much better now with FEMA and such I just have to smile. The only people who would say such a thing are those who have not had to deal with FEMA and our government after a disaster. I don't mean to sound too negative, but having to pay for your evacuation flight is typical. We know this event will change you, and probably your outlook on life, but please guard your hearts and your smiles. May God bless your future endeavors.
So sorry for you and glad you are ok
I lost my live aboard boat to Hurricane Matthew last year... I feel your pain...
This is just a speed hump in your lives. You'll get over it and move on, and who knows, other doors will open and new oppotunitys will arrive. Good luck.
So sorry you lost the boat. It sucks but at least you're okay.
I'm so glad that you're both safe and have managed to get off the island. I've been thinking of you both constantly since this whole thing started!!
I live on a boat too, and I can imagine how rotten you must be feeling right now, but the bottom has been reached, and this is where you both bounce back to even bigger and better things, I'm sure of this.
You're both in my thoughts :)
Please tell me you weren't cavorting around the Caribbean during Hurricane season without an escape plan, and without carrying enough insurance to replace the Yacht ??
I will +never+ forget the image of boats damaged off dock like that. Docks are dangerous places to ride out hurricanes if they're not full-on hurricane holes.
Crazy, really happy your safe and unharmed. Sorry to hear about your boat. Do you have insurance?
We are happy that you are both safe. Hopefully we will see you guys again on the water.
Ahh wow! I have been anticipating this episode with hope of a different outcome. I really wished Mischief would have made it through Irma. What's next for you guys?
So, so sorry to see this happened. Do Y'all have any plans of buying another sail boat? I just started watching Your videos. found them while researching St Martin during the hurricane. Any way
More worried about a fucking boat...than helping the locals who have lost everything!
What have YOU done to help???
If you are ever in that situation again , remember , sailboats don't need engines to sail out of the hurricane zone !
zzzx xzzz
They aren't very good sailors.
I'm happy your not dead. Sorry about mischief. Maybe you can find another Sail Boat that was damaged and restore it as a replacement.
So glad your alive and well. And glad you had the US help. Sad for everyone else. Have heard they are evacuating everyone from several islands, and guessing they will do that by ship after all danger is gone. But no real info.
You need to put some more info on the boat now as well as couldn't quite make out where the boat was/is...did you look for it, did it float down stream or was it underwater etc....would really like to know as Im sure many others would like to as well..
Its a Toothpick!
its a submarine!
Now is the time to go & pick up a nice big sail boat cheap cause the insurance companies are giving them away. All have to go!! Don't give up on your dreams!! We're in Trinidad & it's sweet to live in the Caribbean. We were actually in Grenada & the Grenadines from the 6-15th Aug. Salt Whistle Bay, Mayro was the bomb.
I am glad you guys are ok. We are in Puerto Rico too. You are welcome to stay at our place in Aguadilla. please let me know. Ace and Tee
😢😢 my island, my birthday! What a horror but we’ve pulled through
Wow! Just wow. I'm gobsmacked. I can't imagine how you feel.
So did mischief sink or did she get blown away?
Hi how bad is your boat , and what are the damages , can you photo it ,
Its a Toothpick!
Did you watch? It was under water.
Jeremy Holovacs I saw the boat witchy woman underwater
So glad you survived to tell us your story. .It brought an awakening . . a closer picture of the nightmare many are still living. From now on it should only get better.
is it true that the insurance will not cover any boat destroyed in any named hurricane?
No that's not true. There are all kinds of insurance policies for all kinds of prices that cover all kinds of circumstances. Obviously a policy that covers named storms, inexperienced sailors, blue water sailing in the hurricane box add to premiums and deductibles..
Are you guys still in Puerto Rico?
So sorry to hear of the loss of the Mischief, a good boat is like a good friend, but glad you all are safe and wishes that you remain so.
Remember the people on the smaller islands which were destroyed that have no one coming to help also people, and they need our help, please consider donating to abredcross.org/disaster/ or www.unicefusa.org/stories/unicef-responding-catastrophic-hurricane-irma/32788
they need our help people, let's show them what the sailing community (and others) are.
heartbreaking.. .
Glad you are safe. Not true about Canadians not being saved tho. Sunwing Airlines (Canadian) was the first international carrier that was able to get into the island after Hurricane Irma. Took 191 passengers, as much as the plane would hold to safety. Many Canadians, Americans, Dutch and so on. In fact saw the US Planes land as we were loading up.
Again, glad you are safe now, such a horrific event!
Youre young 22. You have youre whole life ahead. Youre first boat is not usually youre last boat. all those things you learned on mischief will be put to use on youre next boat. All is not lost . You actually learned so much about life in just a few days.
Some people are assholes and if you live a public life on youtube u just got to deal.
You just experienced ship wreck and lived to tell youre kids.
Soon you will be with mom and dad,starbucks and friends.
You dont need much at 22.
Beer money and a crash pad and friends was enough if i remember right.
Good luck.
Glad your both safe ! Sorry about Mischief.
Hey Rudolph; give it a break keyboard.
Welcome to my Island Puerto Rico. God bless you.
God? Really? Ask god why he allowed so much destruction to so many poor people.
I am so happy you all are OK! Do you have any idea what exactly happened to the boat? Did she go down in the slip or break free? If she broke free there may still be a chance that she's floating out there somewhere isn't there? Perhaps she's washed up somewhere and if so there may be salvageable items (instruments, fittings, etc...)
Its a Toothpick!
If you all need a place to stay for a few day let us know. We are 40-50 miles from San Juan.
We have 3 kids so it can be loud but we do have a spare bedroom :)
Wow Brent that is what is needed right now we people should help each other when one needs help..Much Respect,your are a brother in life..
Least we can do. We are not the Hilton. But we are happy to share what we have.
Brent, what a nice offer. You're in my thoughts with Maria headed your way.
Patrick Wagz thank you. This one is hitting our city if the eye makes landfall as charted. Keep us in your prayers.
