When things become iffy.....I want to be next door to you two.....you're calm, experienced and smart sailors! This was a very enjoyable and teachable video.....I'll be watching more of these dudes.....thank you both!
Living in Florida we see our share of storms, but a cat 5 in a sailboat not something most people get to experience. Great job showing what it was like. You got me hooked, I watch all your post back to back, looking forward to your next one. Good luck and fair winds
I like wiind , But it,s a bits hard to sail aroud in circles inside the eye, and it was hard to keep complete cotrroll with were we , but we had admiralty charts , and Townsville harbour on the vhf, so they told us they could see us sometimes on the radar, Townville square , What place of isnpiration..

Hello Skippers. From St.Catharines, Ontario , Canada . Great info for all us ' wannabes' . The both of you obviously are REAL sailors . I've subscribed , and tummsed up . Enjoy our little blue marble and stay safe .
I like how you explained your Storm Prep, how you picked the spot to tie up like you did and especially about the anchor, smart thinking for sure. I think I would have been a bit nervous about how far in you guys went but I do understand why.
Hi Steve, early in the season we took our tender up into that creek with our hand held depth sounder to suss out depths and find a hole for Sarean to sit in, which is a good tactic. I would have felt nervous taking her up there also if we hadn't first been
Whaow ! Very instructif and courageous of you ! And you have experienced it both before !! I have seen also the following video and seen the carnage in the bay !!! You did very well to hide in the mangrove ! I leave in the med in France , I am gathering info and knowledge before joining the sailing community in a few years hopefully ! Thank you for sharing your experiences, keep safe ! Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas, glad you are enjoying our vids. As far as learning and sharing cruising info goes, there are some great Facebook groups out there such as 'Liveaboard Sailboat, Seven Sea Cruising Association, Bluewater Sailing and Cruising. Well worth joining if you haven't already as the info shared can be invaluable.
Hey thank you so much for your feedback Merritt - so glad you like our work thus far. We aim to put out videos on a 2-3 week basis (depending on where we can find decent internet!) - so keep following!
Well that answers my question about why the ancho wasn't deployed.... as you say, a personal decision. Looks like it worked out for you two.. great! Big storm for sure... You guys handled it like pro's. Nice boat too !
Thanks Bob! Yes Sarean is a beauty isn't she! I also wrote about our experience and a few other decision on our blog if you are interested Bob... www.svsarean.com/single-post/Our-Extraordinary-Experience-with-Tropical-Cyclone-Debbie-in-The-Whitsundays
Hello there! Loved watching the TC Debbie videos, especially with our hurricane season approaching. I had a question..the area in the mangroves that you hunkered down in..is that an area where "Salties" are present and a problem? Wasn't sure if crocs were an issue where you were. We got into a rather spirited conversation about it! Please advise! Your fans from Florida.
+Mark Galsky Hi Florida! Great to have you with us! Yes, crocs are about in FNQ - pays to keep an eye out ;) I understand they have been spotted as far down as Brisbane... I guess as they breed the males go in search of their own patch. Best of luck with your upcoming season!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks! Out of curiosity, what kind of damage would you expect if you were NOT tied to mangroves other than the bow? You'd chafe against the lee mangroves, for sure, but is that significant?
Good Day from NZ. Just subscribed to your channel. Great video. So what's the offshore plan? Across the Pacific or up to Asia? Look forward to more of your videos. Stay safe.
Daniel Voon Hey Daniel - great to have you on board! We are heading up to the Louisiades shortly, then Solomons. We might hook back down to Vanuatu after the cyclone season then over to NZ and out, or we may hook up through Micronesia. Depends on the weather at the time and our gut feelings. We are circumnavigating, but we just wander! Love to hear your thoughts if you've anywhere you particularly enjoyed - otherwise we'll keep filming for you ;) Rock on!
Living the life way to go dazzer Will be going past you some time in August heading for the cape but on land staf safe you pair enjoy life to the fullest Woo Hoo see ya later
Dick Craddock Glad you enjoyed it. Sarean is a Bowman 47. She is a beauty alright. Check out the specs on our website if you like www.sailingsvsarean.com under 'meet sarean'. Best wishes!
I watched another YT channel decide to chain their boat to a concrete pier in a marina when threatened. When Mary passed they came out, the pier was gone, the boat was in half on the bottom. It seems to me the older sailing couples run from the marinas. They seem to be quite dangerous.
Oh no, that must have been heart breaking for them. We can only do our best with the information and experience we have at the time. Yes, we try to find shelter away from others. Marinas have their purpose. however can fail during storms of this magnitude.
Much the same as on land Doug. Being a Cocker Spaniel she just loved the water and was small and agile enough to easily transport. I taught her to do her business on board (which got washed overboard) for those times we couldn't access land and we naturally spent a tonne of time on beaches and swimming! Moo had her bed under the saloon table and would 'self tack' if down below on passages, or in the cockpit. She was never allowed on deck in rough weather. As she got older we just kept a closer look out on her and naturally had to help her about much more. Moo just loved this life though, you could see it on her face when she was watching the world sail by and meeting new people and sea creatures. She traveled more sea miles than any dog I know and also enjoyed that feeling of wind in her face and a yacht moving under sail. We are heading out voyaging again now and that is hard on animals, along with constant quarantine issues when traveling internationally. Moo passed a few months back - we very very much miss her passion and humour.
Where's your weather information coming from that you're displaying on the home screen? Here in the states where I'm located(Las Vegas, Nevada) we get our weather info from the National weather service that name the hurricanes and tell just how or what category they are(1-5) with Cat 5 being the strongest at +156 mph or +251 kph.That's miles per hour and kilometers per hour. Sorry if I'm telling you info that you already know. Here in Las Vegas we don't worry to much about Hurricanes as we are in desert country with heat the biggest problem.This is June and already we just had a week with the temperatures above 110 degrees every day, the hottest days are in July and August. Hurricanes or cyclones are the biggest and most damaging weather systems plus they spawn tornado's with wind speed above 300 mph., not nearly as big as a hurricane however. Your channel is one of the best and most interesting series I've found and please continue to show everyone your lifestyles and views of what's around you and your mate. Thank you for a great and interesting show.
Thank you Frank - most appreciated. Whilst we are coastal cruising we utilise 'WindyTy' (which was pictured in the vid), however when offshore we use 'Predict Wind' and 'Bobgrams' for Pacific cruising. Hope that helps and see you in the next video!
Hi Paul, we tied her in her davits... did you watch the second vid yet? You'll see some great footage of her almost flying! Here's the link for you... ruclips.net/video/V7_YE6gtDE8/видео.html

Hey Doug - you weren't far away yourself! See yo in the next video...
Yes... Was watching from afar... The aftermath looked pretty bad... Can't wait for your next installment!
Ham radio is great for staying touch even around the world.
Yes we have - also just about to pull ourselves into this century by purchasing Iridium Go! - whoop! whoop!
Always great weather before the BIG Storms.
Oh sheesh yes it was extremely muggy prior - you could almost feel the atmosphere wanting to explode
Great video felt like I was there with you
Stacey King Great! I love that you were in our groove. Thanks for joining us!
Loved it.
Great stuff, well done with the decision making. I just watched Ep.3 first and wanted to see how you set it all up. Grand, cheers for sharing.
Sailing Taranto Hey thanks, it's our pleasure - although maybe the storm itself - not so much! :)
Inspirational video to say the least. Great camera presence, like we are there with you.
Subscribed. Going to watch the second video.
Hey Marik - we are so glad that you felt connected with us - it's one of our main aims. Great feedback thank you - and great to have you on board!

Thanks for your info and advice …
You should have cooked a cake too … sweets are good for comfort !… ;)))
Cheers.
Maximum pedant mode - Hurricanes in the Atlantic, Typhoons in the Pacific, and Cyclones in the Indian ;-)
Well, it is cyclonic...they all are in fact. Just call it a tropical revolving storm ;)
I watched another YT channel decide to chain their boat to a concrete pier in a marina when threatened. When Mary passed they came out, the pier was gone, the boat was in half on the bottom. It seems to me the older sailing couples run from the marinas. They seem to be quite dangerous.

Sailing SV Sarean Go with God's speed. Be blessed and his mercy shall keep for ever.
Just thinking... How do you look after a doggie in a yacht?
Much the same as on land Doug. Being a Cocker Spaniel she just loved the water and was small and agile enough to easily transport. I taught her to do her business on board (which got washed overboard) for those times we couldn't access land and we naturally spent a tonne of time on beaches and swimming!
Moo had her bed under the saloon table and would 'self tack' if down below on passages, or in the cockpit. She was never allowed on deck in rough weather. As she got older we just kept a closer look out on her and naturally had to help her about much more.

Moo passed a few months back - we very very much miss her passion and humour.
Oh, Sorry to hear about Moos' passing. Thanks for answering my question on that one! Fair winds :-)
Look at your silver. its true, a pirate loves silver more than gold, lol.

You never said what you did with your dinghy.
Hi Paul, we tied her in her davits... did you watch the second vid yet? You'll see some great footage of her almost flying! Here's the link for you... ruclips.net/video/V7_YE6gtDE8/видео.html
finally got to view it. Wow, such a sad ending for those boats.
I see nothing about typhoon.
