our first wrapped up just hanging out a

girl had it straight

[Applause]

[Music]

this isn't your nesting we're on our way

to do some survival training offshore

survival training yeah so what that

involves like life raft boarding a life

raft and jumping in the water from like

15 meters whatever stuff we're not even

sure it's all the things you need to

know if you're going offshore which we

are doing so this is all part of our

preparations for the Caribbean this is

it survival training center

are you doing a well how'd you like that

cold tank

[Music]

you should get in there quick yeah I'm

surprised you're not like

yeah that's the best part much better

one

so we just got out of a cold tank which

was having how many degrees four degrees

Celsius and that was really really

really cool and now we're getting into

survival training simulation

[Music]

you're really heavy and all the layers

and

and it's exhausting trying to push

yourself through the water yeah because

you're just so heavy with all the

moisture left

but so far we have been inflated our

best so it's like we're really working

hard that's next

and we're gonna get inside this raft

[Applause]

looks like they have different opinions

very real you did well

well there's those hurricane warnings

you don't see very often Atlantic Canada

the National Hurricane Center is

acknowledging the intensity increase of

hurricane durian bullseye around Halifax

and West push sustained 90 kilometres an

hour

so hurricane durian is upon us in a few

hours and you know that we're back in

the water we do have our mast back up

now and we were right in the middle of

prepping for the Caribbean doing a lot

of provisioning and getting the boat

ready and hurricane durian came kind of

here just starting now the rains just

kind of starting and we're gonna hop in

the dinghy and get the heck out of here

spend some time on shore while this

hurricane goes by so we didn't have to

take down our sails because their sails

are already off the Dodger was up the

Bimini was up so the Dodger Bimini came

off and I strapped down the frames for

those and secured everything on deck

clear the deck of any anything out there

that might be in the way broth fenders

in everything cuz we're on a mooring so

we don't need to tie up we don't need

fenders or anything like that we

actually have like a really really

strong morning

it's a three-quarter inch steel cable

going down to a 4,000 pound a huge

morning block out of the water and we've

got big shackles on there brand new

mooring lines so I extended the mooring

lines by using some really heavy nylon

rope and I secured that off at the bow

so our mooring lines are actually like

over 20 feet that's really good should

give us a lot of spring and then I put a

15 pound weight at the bottom of the

middle of the mooring lines so that

they'll weigh down so every time the

boat comes taut it extends those lines

and pulls that weight up and gives us

some spring so that we're not completely

jammed every time the boat swings back

against the mooring lines so hopefully

that should help us survive this is a

category 2 hurricane yeah it's serious

and the I was supposed to go right over

us so wish us luck and we'll let you

know how it goes yeah

but we rode the storm out at noah's

mom's it was just cold and windy and it

got dark the power went out we couldn't

even see the boat I think my mom's house

is the only house in Dartmouth that did

not lose power last night but it was a

good chance for us to edit some video

for you guys and have a little downtime

because we haven't had that it's been

go-go-go getting our prep for the

Caribbean so we're on our way back now

to check out the boat suss out the

damage kind of nervous I haven't gotten

an update I was getting text messages

throughout the night but I haven't had

an update since the eye of the storm was

above us I have no idea how the boat did

from the point where the winds shifted

180 degrees and started blowing the

other way we had winds up to 150 km/h I

think we just arrived at the marina and

just looking around here it looks like

all the boats survived all the docks

survived from what we can tell just out

of first glance here one thing that's

pretty impressive though is the storm

surge had come right up here over the

dock so you know that these docks were

up like above the ground level

especially over here and all that debris

right there just shows you how high the

water had come and our boat is right

there so we'll get the dinghy out and

head over there and make sure that

everything is okay

I'm going to do a 360 we'll check her

open here

I don't see anything wrong

yeah I want to see if the weight is

still tied onto the bridles that I've

been on there

wait still fight on bridles look good we

made it

there's no chafe on the lines and these

cleats held up everything looks really

good see how things look go for it it's

expected yeah looks like some stuff

spilled fell over

[Music]

[Music]

well we got a little mess here it was a

hurricane after all everything's good

you don't see any water open up the

bilge

I bet the table moved a bit no there's

no water in the bilge whoa we survived
