    Thank God you kids are finally safe! So sorry for the loss of your boat, but it is something that can be replaced one day. Your lives will be forever changed by this experience as will all of us who lived through you. I hope you get back to state side sooner than later and reunite with your loved ones. Keep us posted.

    I've never been so worried about people I've never met. I'm so happy you're ok (sort of) and are out of there. Sorry for the loss of Mischief. Good luck with whatever comes next. Thanks, for the update.

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Fight back and recovery to resume your dreams. Our boat is on the hard in BVI and hope beyond hope that she is recoverable after Irma, but it's not looking good either. We will rise again!

    I'm so sorry that you lost Mischief, but the most important thing is that you are alive & well. She is can be replaced while you cannot. Rest up, get back on your feet. Keep us posted as there are many here who care about y'all.

    We are so saddened that Mischief did not make it. Thank God you two did. Watched your videos tying her up and riding out the storm. My heart hurts for you two. I've had to go back to the dock a few times here in Mobile, AL and hope my boat is there. I can't image the pain of seeing her gone. Prayers for you and hope things turn around for you.

    Every year for as long as I can remember, it's the same thing over and over again. People never learn. July 79, I pointed me bow north, wintered in Newfoundland. Lost a good friend to Hurricane David. Ever since then, come mid to end of july I go north or south return in january depending on conditions. Those that know and those that think they know. Lots of wrecked boats every year in the carib belonging to those that think they know

  • @lifeonblackcreek
    @lifeonblackcreek 7 лет назад +3

    Thank you so much for the update. We lived through Katrina, and absolutely understand what you're going through. When we hear on the news that things are so much better now with FEMA and such I just have to smile. The only people who would say such a thing are those who have not had to deal with FEMA and our government after a disaster. I don't mean to sound too negative, but having to pay for your evacuation flight is typical. We know this event will change you, and probably your outlook on life, but please guard your hearts and your smiles. May God bless your future endeavors.

    @rustie4242 7 лет назад +13

    Well it has been an expensive lesson, that many viewers can learn from. If you want to go cruising you need to learn where and when to sail, this is a classic case of the wrong place at the wrong time.. What will you do with Mischief..? Did you locate her? She has to be there somewhere and some one will have to deal with the wreck, you can't just walk away and expect the Islanders to sort it...

      Spot on reply. This is the real value of all these RUclips sailing videos. Most of the time we see what to do right and what to expect when we do. This time we saw a move into an untenable situation and what can happen when we don't. The right thing to do in this case was what SSL did. Saw storm coming, sailed to Grenada. He's a much more experienced skipper tho. Lesson learned.

    I'm so sorry you guys. Mischief is irreplaceable, but I know there's a lot of people who's lives you've changed for the better and inspired through your adventures so far and it's certainly not over yet as we can see from your latest update. I'm going to donate to you guys and I think a lot of other people will too. God bless and keep your heads up, your days of adventuring are far from over, and anything's possible! Sending you lots of love and aloha from Hawaii.

    Thank you for sharing this footage and for taking in Ken and Laurie. They were so close to coming South with us to Trinidad but their engine problems prevented that from happening. I had been so worried about them. Thankfully they are now back in Canada.
    I'll be sailing up through the islands from Trinidad starting next month. If anyone knows of an organisation I can contact in regards to carrying out voluntary work to help rebuild the communities please let me know.
    Stay positive and take one day at a time.

    I'm so glad that you're both safe and have managed to get off the island. I've been thinking of you both constantly since this whole thing started!!
    I live on a boat too, and I can imagine how rotten you must be feeling right now, but the bottom has been reached, and this is where you both bounce back to even bigger and better things, I'm sure of this.
    You're both in my thoughts :)

  • @cyh4031
    @cyh4031 7 лет назад +1

    Having recently survived Harvey here in Houston, I can related just a little to what you have experienced. Our home ended up being fine...but we spent 5 days in a hotel just to be safe because our apartment is in a very low lying area...we had 8 feet of water in the intersection just out side our hotel, which is about 2 miles south of our apartment, and just two miles north of us, many of the stores took on multiple feet of water, but miraculously, we were dry and thanking God for watching over us. That said...we still want to move to higher ground as soon as the Lord makes the way for us to do so...I've not worked in quite some time (not because of the hurricane though), so right now we can't even buy groceries.
    So I guess you guys got out ahead of Jose? It looked to me from the news reports that Jose hit St. Maartin as well..but I've never been able to find any videos about that. I can't believe the government charged you for the flight...that boggles my mind...hoping you might find a way to get reimbersed for that.
    Blessings to you and yours!!

    I am so happy you all are OK! Do you have any idea what exactly happened to the boat? Did she go down in the slip or break free? If she broke free there may still be a chance that she's floating out there somewhere isn't there? Perhaps she's washed up somewhere and if so there may be salvageable items (instruments, fittings, etc...)

    Is the boat GONE? Or is it just torn away from it's dock? Is it scrapped, or Salvageable?

    • @Dvseire
      @Dvseire 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah my thoughts exactly, if its not sunk at the dock, there is a good chance it might be still afloat, in that case having a look around the area of the anchorage might have been a good idea in the first instance. They obviously had a very traumatic experience and I am glad they made it through safely.

    • @barrybrewer3629
      @barrybrewer3629 7 лет назад

      Good question.. The boat next to theirs was still there (rougher for wear, to be sure, but still, it was there)..
      I can't imagine not looking for my boat, and taking some video of other boats as well while I'm there..
      The story was that it got center-punched by a 31-foot boat, but if it's gone, how would you know that?
      It's ~someplace~... Which isn't saying it survived, but it ~is~ someplace...
      But they're off the island now, so we'll never know...

    • @alonjar
      @alonjar 7 лет назад

      Looked like it was sunk/capsized at the dock.

    • @barrybrewer3629
      @barrybrewer3629 7 лет назад

      Not sure what you're looking at, but I didn't see their boat... Another sunk boat, yes... But not Mischief...
      I understand wanting to evacuate, and I know it's stressful but if that was my home, I'd want to do everything I could to find it... It could still be floating somewhere, or maybe just jammed-up in one spot with many other boats...

      @jrock836 7 лет назад

      No that's not true. There are all kinds of insurance policies for all kinds of prices that cover all kinds of circumstances. Obviously a policy that covers named storms, inexperienced sailors, blue water sailing in the hurricane box add to premiums and deductibles..
