You have very solid way to plan maneuvering and communicate the plan to your crew, I really appreciate it. To high wind maneuvering, it's always good to remember that boats and ships are happy to reverse into the wind, like a wind vane. Keeping that in mind, it's quite easy to place and hold the vessel with engine even in storm. I call it "reverse anchor". Of course, crosswind departures or arrivals are always a challenge requiring speed to control the boat.
Nice to see that everything went well and that the crew followed your order swiftly cutting the rope. This is a situation why we always keep our dinghy inflated. Phew...
Thanks Andy, Yes briefing worked like a charm. Only thing that we in our plan did not account for was me getting stuck on land:-) I actually did consider swimming out to the boat, but glad a found someone with a dinghy! Take care and say hi to Sophie, Chris & Tanja
Hi there. Completely understand, and Chris had the same experience the first time he saw the Scandinavian way of mooring against the rocks, but we have done it a hundred times since, like everyone else. On this particular departure the wind and direction was really against us. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Even though it was unpleasant and scary at the time, it is the unpredictable events that create memories we remember and can talk about for the rest of our lives. In a perfect host, we would not have any "fun" memories.
Hi Ahmet, No we just rented the Hanse 388 for that one week in the summer. No we are waiting for our own Hanse 418 to go into the workshop to get the damage after the grounding fixed, so she is ready for the new season. Thanks, glad you liked it. Cheers Chris & Tanja
How does that boat not get grounded on that shoreline? When surrounded by rocks that look like lenticular clouds you prolly should get a boat without a keel ;) Letting Google decide the order I watch these in probably wasnt a very good idea either.
Hi Mitchel. This is the way we moor the boat in the nature harbours in Sweden. The grounding wasn't in anyway connected to this way of mooring. In this particular situation the wind was stronger than expected which was why the exit became a bit of a challenge. Cheers, Chris & Tanja

True that. We actually sat there in reverse while we waited for Tanja and I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the advice :)
I think I've become obsessed with Sailing Aurora movies
Hi there, thanks very much. Really appreciate comments like these

Hi Marco. Thanks. Yes, everybody was great on following the plan we had and acting quickly. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
Good to see how the briefs work though. You made a good quick decision and it was implemented quickly. As you say the cost of the rope is not much

Seems a crazy way to moor a boat. A simple anchor far less stressful.

Hi there, no you are absolutely right, and it's events like these that keeps us learning and developing. Best, Chris & Tanja
Are you on still hanse 388 :) Thank for new videos.

It was a Svärta

Ran Sailing similar spot last summer
Hi there. Didn't think that they made it that far, would have loved to meet them. It's a great channel. Cheers, Chris & Tanja
What’s about without shirt all the time 😂
A man in living in Scandinavia needs sun :) Sorry, just don't always have my T-shirt to hand
@@SailingAurora It is so cold in Skandinavia. That was my concern 😄
