Surviving a Hurricane - Strategies for Sailors | Distant Shores

If you ever worry about what it would be like to be hit by a hurricane or tropical storm on your boat, this video will answer a lot of your questions. Paul and I have gone through several named storms throughout our 30 years of cruising so, using video footage from our own experiences as well as others, we cover how and when hurricanes are formed, how to track them and strategies for weathering named storms on your boat in a marina, tied to a mangrove or hauled out in a boat yard. We also discuss insurance coverage for hurricane season.
