Preparing for and Weathering our first Hurricane Onboard (Calico Skies Sailing Ep. 36)

In this episode we prepare for Hurricane Dorian. We spend the days leading up to the storm planning - First by scoping out protected anchorages, and then by considering how best to manage potential storm scenarios. Besides just storm strength alone, there are several variables at play with the trickiest being wind direction which is predicted to shift significantly over the course of the storm. After a lengthly evaluation of best strategy, we settle on a final game plan right before the BIG day but true a hurricane's character, it's Mother Nature who's in charge, and before the storm is over Dorian will send us some curve balls just to keep us on our toes! -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Thanks to our Patrons!
