"indicated 65kts before it blew away" ha ha ha classic!

The fireworks video was excellent. I've watched years of professionally shot July 4th celebrations that can't compare to what you did - clear crisp focus and good color representation! Very nice!

Kika always looks pretty but that last white outfit that she was wearing amongst the fireworks helped to show just how stunning she is. She looks so fit, I wonder if she was once involved with gymnastics. Both Kika and Dan are a fine looking couple but more importantly these videos show how good they are on the inside and how intelligent and inventive they are along with gobs of self motivation. Yeah, I find them to be an exceptional couple.....

Looking forward to seeing you cooking with the Go Sun solar oven and hearing your opinion of it

Great video! Saw a few egg timer time lapses in there.

Very good anchor test! We haven't had anything like that yet. Take care.

Love the intro. You guys are doing great. Thanks for your vlog. Love them.

Great episode, thanks for the adventure!!

So happy to see you have a radio, never saw it before now and have been wondering. Love you two.

I LOVED the smiles on your faces after that storm!

We know from the films that we make that the wind never seems as strong on film as it does when your in it... well we can confirm that did indeed look REALLY windy. Thanks for sharing guys.

I was literally getting sea sick watching the boat rock while in Miami's rough sea anchorage.

That was a very impressive squall!

Very fun watching Dory off the stern in the storm.

Now that's one heck of a storm. Lucky the 5:1 didn't let loose. Glad you're safe. Great video.

Awesome video 👍

Love it! A Canadian and a Haitian enjoying an American tradition while American youth play video games and complain about everything. You guys rock! Your videos are awesome and I love following your adventures - keep it up!

Got to love Miami Weather!

Glad you guys made it through that storm safely.

Good test of the hurricane anchor?

@SailingUma

Nope. That was just with our 55# Rocna. We hadn't set up our hurricane anchor yet. Would't have had time to deploy it anyway. That was SUPPOSED to be just a normal thunderstorm. But 60kt winds are what our Rocna is rated for. It didn't drag and inch at 5:1. We're impressed. The Mantus is for when $h!t really hits the fan.

awesome vid guys,wow pretty intense storm ,wow 5 to 1 and held pretty dang good,thought that poor little dink was gonna fold up,lol,fair winds an following seas,,,pal

Brickell Ave. Where the insanely stupid money is. Another great video, guys!

You are cool! Thanks for inspiring us. Maybe you will once visit the baltic sea - let us know ;-)

Watching the dinghy bounce really makes me think having a set of davits is a good idea. Really lucky you didn't lose your dinghy or your motor.

No, our boat doesn't have the space for davits and we don't like the cluttered look they bring. Dory did just fine, she's seen worse.

Great Vid M8S. Still think you could make a Rebel Cat for a Tender.I was cringeing seeing that Folbot in that Sea.

Way to use that egg-timer. What camera did you use for the fireworks? Great color saturation.

Rocna certainly held strong, didn't it.

Forecast actually said the front is moving at 30 knots.

Wow. That squall looked gnarly! How long did it last? Rode one like that at anchor the Bahamas blasted 55 at peak gusts and it lasted 50 minutes. Kinda scary. Makes you really love your ground tackle huh?

Didn't last long, maybe 30 min. It was nice knowing we had rock solid ground tackle....which we just made better by all chain rode and bridle.

Wow, that was storm. Did you have any problem with your anchor to keep your boat safe?

Dan, it's obvious from watching your videos that you are as expert as can be when it comes to boat repairs, I talent that you can always employee to make money do odd job to get you from Island to Island. I was wondering if you plan on laying up for the hurricaine season and if you would consider helping me with my boat as a way of funding your UMA project? I'm sure there are lots of people out there that would want the same.....but I asked first!!! LOL! Let me know your thoughts. It's hard finding people who want to work up here in New England aside from Boat Yards which I can't afford. My project isn't as extensive as yours and I have made some progress but it's been a year already. Oh...how satisfied are you with your copper bottom paint job now that you've been sailing a while? I was thinking about doing the same thing. Good sailing and God Bless you both! Bill

Thanks for the offer. It's nice you know your needed. But we'll actually be sailing for the hurricane season, so I'll have to pass. Cheers! Dan.

Where can we find the bathing suits, is there a webshop?

Just wondering which anchor you had down during that 65+ knot storm, the Rocna or the Mantus?

I've never had a windgauge on my boat. I got the hairs on my neck.

Does this mean that if I get the biggest, baddest anchor I am not as likely to drag? I don't have a boat yet, but I will :) One day!

Make sure its a SPADE anchor (like the mantus or rocna)

Storms and waves generally don't look that bad on camera. OMG you could see that was really bad on video. That looked scary

Storm came to fast to take it off. It was only supposed to be 30kts like all the other storms that hit us that week. But this one hit much harder and very fast. We didn't even have time to let out more scope.

so...still thinking of riding out hurricanes with 60 ft waves and 200 knot winds ? lol.
