Nasty Storm at sea: New Cal to Australia Part 3: Sailing Latitude EP36

Well every sailor has their storm story and this is ours. 50-58 knots for just under two hours in the middle of the ocean. 58 knots is force 11 on the Beaufort Wind Scale, which is one notch under the first category for hurricane strength. It was quite an experience and not the fun kind. Both Mari and I knew - at the time - we could not make any mistakes. This video shows what happened and what tactics we used to deal with it. Enjoy!
