After the storm

Crossing from the Azores to the Isles of Scilly this August (2012) we encountered three storms. Filming during the storms wasn't practical, the worst of each was at night anyway and it was very scary in the pitch black with 50 knots plus of wind and driving rain. When the wind was at its worst I had to hand steer throughout. This video was taken after one of the storms when the waves subsided enough for the autopilot to cope whilst I filmed. We ran before the wind with just the staysail throughout the storms and for some days afterwards. Check out my books and e-books - search for Malcolm Snook on Amazon
