Ahoy,
shortly after we arrived in the boatyard a hurricane came sneaking up the coats. We watched him closely and thought about our options. When he decided to head straight west, out to the vast wilderness of the pacific ocean we felt very happy and continued working on our long project list.
But one forecast model said something really strange.. They predicted that Hurricane Sergio would perform a U-Turn and come back to the mexican coast. Back to where we are.
Hmm.. we didn't believe that this would happen and kept on working, but I didnt trusted him being no threat any more and a few days later I was proofed wrong and right at the same time. Wrong for not believing he'd do a 180 degree course change and right for not trusting..

So a Category 4 Hurricane was heading towards us. what to do?
I went to see the Boatyard Management. Gabriel, the Owner, was unaware. Like most other people he forgot about it the moment he turned west. But after I showed him the tracking he was on it and started with the preparations.
We did the same and stripped ZERO to bare poles and clean decks and then waited for Sergio to arrive..
This is a windy episode but enjoy it nevertheless..

Love you all.

i'm on my way to gabriel that's uh owner

and manager of the boat yard here

and i'd like to talk about the storm

with him wait

what hold on what storm

ah you mean the hurricane which did a

sudden u-turn

back to the coast towards us and what

his precautions are and

maybe he has a few words for us we'll

see we always take all the necessary

precautions

like adjusting all the support checking

all the supports have the

right chains verifying all the drain

holes from the wall to prevent water

like little lagoons

and of course taking care of all the

possible things who can blow away during

the storms

check in sails it's a rule of the dry

storage to don't leave

any kind of sails on boats but of course

some customers just bring the boat

just put it and disappear all the stuff

is working right now and tomorrow during

the hurricane all the stuff is going to

be working

i think so we are prepared really well i

will do my part now i take down all the

sails and clean the deck and then we

hope the best

perfect

[Music]

okay now there's a hurricane coming

and we have to face it we cleaned the

boat

and our surroundings as good as possible

we took down the sails tied down

everything

and tried to put as much inside as we

could

[Music]

[Music]

yeah we finally made it we were dripped

down she's

naked all sails are down

everything is tied down on the board and

everything is secured we can make a

party on deck

we did what we think is necessary

i went up to the mast tried to secure

some cables

up there we are prepared for 80 knots of

wind

i hope the stands and the bottom will

be good i mean it's not paved it's

unpaved and if it's a lot of rain

it softens inside the boat it's a holy

mess

a little bit excited a little bit

nervous i don't know what's coming

the whole day was covered with clouds

we're

safe we're prepared but the problem is

we don't know

what other boat owners do here around so

hopefully nothing is flying around that

would be worse

it's thursday evening now i think it's

around 7-ish

we were no more tomorrow it's kind of

exciting it's kind of scary the wind is

coming from

beam on this is the first forecast it's

got straight east and can

beam on and our tail is sticking out

here the

half of the boat the front end is

sheltered by the other boats

and the stern is not no i think it'll be

a nice not a nice experience but a good

experience

we can't escape we can't sail away we

can't go away

we'll do it never give up

[Music]

it's four o'clock now the first couple

gusts are coming

but it's dry at the moment it's no rain

or you see sad you i'm ready

six am there's some wind not much

and when the gusts are coming the whole

boat starts vibrating

on the rig like now

you can feel that as predicted the wind

is coming here from the east

but it's not stormy right

[Music]

are you butt naked

free boat wash

[Music]

it's a rainy day let's get some warm

breakfast

what do you have here porridge

warm

with a little bit of chocolate there's

two bars in there no

not many just little pigs yeah yeah

that's okay

you can have more bananas at all

you can have chocolate in a hurricane

that's okay

it's so comfy and coldly inside so

let's get back in bed

[Music]

the wind slowly picked up with the

company of a little bit of rain

we double checked triple checked and

then

kind of enjoyed a day in the boat yard

without actually working on the boat

[Music]

sergio is coming here inside the boat

the saunter

okay i mean you can hear

you can hear that but once you stick

your head outside

this is it's very loud

the gusts are going up to 45 to 50 now

and the sound is awesome

it's almost 10 a.m now got struggling up

to 60 knots already

i saw one room falling off over there

from this

big storage building the whole roof just

completely peeled off

and flew away i can see some

failures flying around over there one

boat already

i see that there is a furler broken the

whole further is swinging

i mean there's nothing which can be

attacked by the wind here

i just hope that the stands are holding

i can feel the boat moving in

it's vibrating i tend to stand

three times already they get loose

everything's good

60 knots

so there's no more power here and data

is

off as well there's no more internet

connection

so i can't really track where the storm

is going but

it's here it's 12 30 now

we are pretty much consisting consistent

winds

was around 40 knots

gusting up to 60 70 knots

and i'm just walking around here

a little bit of destruction certainly

not much i haven't seen a broken boat

yet

but of course the parts

flying around here

i'm pretty surprised that there's not

much rain it's brighter right now

there's no rain and that's

supposed to be the peak

after the incredible impressions of how

strong wind can be

we decided to stay inside and watch a

movie

i love to be inside watching a good

movie cuddling in bed and drinking

hot chocolate while it's raining cats

and dogs outside

it feels comfortable and everything

calms down

that was the first time we could lay

relaxed in bed to just do

nothing and wait until the storm went by

christian went out every hour to check

and tighten the stands

but despite that zero was safe

a few hours later sergio was gone

the wind calmed down and the clouds

[Music]

disappeared

so it's over

zero looked exactly like before the

storm

[Music]

nothing happened

patiently

how are you tonight

it's all the things you

i do

so here the wind

pushed down the wall a little bit

man we were so lucky that this roof

fell off to this side and not into the

ground

that would have damaged so many bones

first i thought i saw a clock

[Music]

it is strong yeah

any damage on your boat damage to my

brain

you know i'm putting this on youtube

right

[Music]

here and watch with the strong wind it

was like a parachute

that reason the wall tried to fall down

yeah bro i'm freaking happy the marinas

in san carlos are not so well

that's what i hear no yeah

yeah what is that

[Music]

telephone

[Music]

at least 15 boats fall down the whole

town is out of

power and not a single boat fell down

here in marina

we were very lucky

but you know what you say black is also

prepared

[Music]

[Music]

it's just me and my boat

it's just
