Lightning storms all night - sailing 500 miles Pt 1 - Ep 186

We show you how we sailed through lightning storms all night. After 100 miles into a 500 mile crossing in a small sailboat crossing in the open sea, we ran for shelter. A storm five-miles wide hung over the harbour as we navigated in 50m visibility through a narrow reef-lined channel. Boy, did we need that drink!
