47 steps to prepare and store my sailboat in Grenada for the Hurricane Season. The Haul-Out Day! 🇬🇩

After months of unforgettable sailing, it’s time to put Mirage to rest for the summer. In this episode, I take you through the full my "patented" :) 47-step process of preparing our Amel 50 for long-term storage on land in Grenada. From flushing the watermaker and defrosting the fridges, to removing the Starlink and lifting the boat onto concrete blocks—this is the ultimate sailboat shutdown checklist. Whether you're a cruiser yourself, planning your first haul-out, or just curious what goes into mothballing a yacht, this video pulls back the curtain on the real work behind the dream. ⚓ Some of the key tasks include: ✔️ Adding diesel stabilizer & filling the tank ✔️ Washing & polishing everything ✔️ Servicing winches ✔️ Protecting against mold & humidity ✔️ Locking up every hatch, locker, and compartment And of course, it ends the way all big boat days should - with a well-earned glass of wine. Or two :) Thanks for watching, and goodbye (for now) from beautiful Grenada! 🌴 📍 Boat: Amel 50 "Mirage" 🧭 Location: Grenada 🍷 Mood: Tired but satisfied #SailingMirage #SailboatLife #BoatMaintenance #CruisingLife #Amel50 #GrenadaSailing #LiveaboardLife #YachtPrep #HaulOut #SailingGrenada #SailingCaribbean #BluewaterSailing #OffGridLiving #BoatWork #OceanLife #StarlinkAtSea #SailingCouple #FullTimeCruising #SailingAdventure #BoatChecklist
