Tying Sailboat in Mangrove for a Hurricane

Do not try this for Hurricane Irma! Sail away from it in advance!

How to secure your boat for a tropical storm. We film the process as we anchor and tie up in a mangrove in Martinique. Then we film as the approaching storm passes right over us with winds nearly 60 knots. We are testing both our Rocna anchor and our Fortress anchors.
