Glad you made it through. It's been my experience, that in the main, you make your own good luck by hard work and preparation. Well done on your preparation for the worst.
Glad you vessel is okay. I'm up in the mountains of Pennsylvania now. My mother in-law used to have a trailer a block away from you. Heading over towards Sanibel I have a double wide that survived. I saw Salty Sam's before it was Salty Sam's. I forget the old name. So I seen it from the beginning. I sail with my buddy some what when I'm there. My family, friends and different churches of our area has been praying for all of South Florida and SW Florida. Our Church's mission central is taking a few truck loads of clothing, water, food, and other supplies for everyone. Thanks for posting this. It made me feel good that it wasn't destroyed.
What a relief. I was so worried about you two and Satori. Many others did not fair so well, but you took the necessary steps and did the hard work to prepare, and now you are rewarded. All our best to the both of you and Satori! Please let us know of your experiences with other sailors in the harbor; if you are able maybe interview a few...it would be nice to hear their stories too! Again, glad you weathered the storm!!
I'm truly happy to see everything worked out well for you guys. It's nice to see a genuine compassionate dude with real concern for other peoples property, you deserved to have been spared. Best of luck you two.
Congratulations. That's awesome. I think we were all keeping our fingers crossed for y'all and very pleased to see that your home survived intact. Your prep is to be commended and prayers do help.
You guys are one lucky couple. Sailing the World, got a cute dog, great boat and each other. I'm glad Irma headed the direction it did after passing Marco Island and Naples. They cut off the water flow and slowed things down. She could have been much worse. Thanks for all your help down there. Panacea couldn't have survived without you two. Sail on captain and crew, sail on... Capt. Paul
After watching you preparing for the storm I watched it approach and when it was coming in on the West side, it wasn't looking good for Satori. I'm very pleased and somewhat amazed that you came through with no damage. This will feed your inspiration and calling to this sailing life. Congratulations
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Great job prepping the boat and yourselves for what could have been a tragedy. This one and your prep video should be a must watch for all boaters. It's hard work but the results paid off! Looking forward to your next videos back out on the water!!!
I’m a year behind, but trying to live it in “real” time.... woooo hooo. Yes!!!!! Hard work and love pay off. Love for each other, love for the life you’re living, love for your boat. Respect, what ever luck you had you earned. I’m inspired.. thank you Sailing Satori... oh and I’m an iPad convert too. Thanks again x
I haven't seen my boat yet, but when you're drawn down in wind and as many lines as I had, I'm planning to have minimal drama. Satori's got work to do, I know I'll have work to do - I was deep in a hurricane hole, but seeing Satori bright and beautiful picks up my spirit. Here's to you guys. Good luck!
Wow, excellent news. Satori took that well, great job prepping, hard work paid off and we are ecstatic that you both (well all 3 of you) are safe and relatively unscathed. Looking forward to your future posts!
I just saw the video. I am so happy for you. I know how relieved I was, but Satori was in much worse winds. Hope power and internet at back now, and Satori is all dried out. Love you guys.
You are a great example of being a responsible boat owner. You prepared your boat to the best of your ability and it paid off. Many did little or nothing and many paid the price. I saw the same thing here in the Tampa area. Some homeowners did nothing to prepare their homes to protect them from wind or flood damage and now are paying the price and you hear the 'woe is me' stories.
So happy your hard work paid off. I watched another channel where they spent more time joking than preparing... including leaving their dinghy hanging off the back... no word on how the jokesters did yet. You guys did fantastic!
Very happy to see you guys still have Satori :) Now, on a more serious note, I am very happy to see King Arthur happy on his yacht and bouncing on his throne after being carried by his humble servant. ;) Glad all is well guys. thanks for sharing and best from HKG
Is there any indication if the lines you tied across your slip actually pushed the boat that drifted away? Based on where Satori was located, it seems very lucky the drifter boat did not come into your slip.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. You have taught a lot of sailors a great lesson. Wishing you both continued success and adventure. Be safe. Wear you life jacket.
Glad you guys made it through relatively un scathed. Hur Talmia was in Boot Key and the boats there did not fair so well. Took 5 days to actually gain access. Storms will humble even the bravest souls. Great Video and very REAL!!
Well... she wasn't where I left her but I found her adrift using storms.ngs.noaa.gov real time satellite imagery!! Still had a piling attached to her when I found her... LOL. She fired right up and got her back to the slip today!!! Teak toe rails and rub rails are mostly gone but she is dry inside!!
I just started watching your videos from the beginning. Saw the BVI video, going in June. We own the houseboat in this video. Moved it from Islamorada for Irma. We also had no damage. Went back the Keys for a while. Now we keep her at Salty Sam's.
Really glad everything worked out! I'm definitely favoriting this video for some helpful hints in case my wife and I ever have to prep for a hurricane!
Haha, I'm sure it will! Especially if we plan to live aboard for years. It's difficult to find marinas and boats up here in New England though! Not to mention someone to learn from!
So pleased you have come through unscathed, have been very worried watching events unfold on the news Overhear in England. Hope to see you back out to sea soon. Steve.
So happy your boat was ok. Only one of the people I follow lost their boat and that was Sailing Mischief. Hope they will recover from that. Always look forward to your future videos.
New subscriber here. Your hard work paid off. I had a hurricane here in NC at Oriental area and I stayed with my Rival 34' all night adjusting lines. Really enjoying your channel. I'm in the process of going through all your videos. Thanks for posting the videos and the hard work in making them.
Happy to see that you made it thought the storm. Also glad the boat to see Satori made it also, I don't like to see boats all beat up, sad and cost too much to fix.
Glad Satori is ok, it goes to show that with the preparation put inplace, you stand a far better chance of minimal to no damage. We feel for the guy who had the boat drift into his stern 😔
Congrats to you for a job well done on your preps for the storm ! The only thing I would do to prep my boat was replace all my lines ! worked out well for me !
Wew. Gratz you two. Irma turned right to fort Meyers and I was a little worried. (Mostly the boat next to you with the tender hanging around). Glad it all came out well. I was talking about you two on MJ Sailings videos.
Praise God for answered prayers... Bow let the fun begin put your baby back together and sail away... Just be sure those other storm have past by... We'll be continuing to hold y'all up in prayer... Be blessed...BBE..
Good for you guys, got lucky. Watched a vlog from another sailing couple.They went to check on their boat after the storm and it was gone. They were on St Martin. Felt bad for them.
Hard to believe the guy next to left his dinghy hanging and had no damage, either. Maybe your slip choice had a lot to do with it, too! So happy y'all and excited for future videos.
So Happy about Satori. So far the only boat totally gone is Sailing Mischief which was out in the Islands. They had to evacuate most everyone including mischief crew. Your not only open but so far out, the most dangerous place. I've seen boats really moving with no power ! You guys rock, and the web across the outside could have been even more lines, that might have saved you ! I see another storm just coming together , similar to , in fact, already more powerful, than Irma and Harvey were. I watched both of them travel across the atlantic and this one looks more powerful already. Tis the season ! Windy dot com shows up brewing about the 22 or so.
What I thought was a disturbance disappeared from windy, good news, a break for the rest of September maybe. Southern Japan, not so lucky. Hopefully some good sailing coming up for you.
Wow...thankfully you guys had it good. Mother-in-law lives in the U.S.V.I. and they are hurting BAD. Florida needs fixing, but Islands have widespread devastation.

+brucerabun, yes all good over here! Power and all 😉 So relieved and thankful. Thanks Bruce, love you guys too!
Stoked! You got just a free pressure wash. That's the best hurricane story I've heard this week. I'm glad you're still sailing.
+Greg Webster, thanks so much! We got extremely lucky 🙏🏻☺️
I am very happy for y'all, you are very lucky and I am glad you came through this in one piece more or less.

+Tara Armour, thank you! ☺️
Great job in your preparations before the storm. Happy that everything worked out.
+Mike WhiskeyTango, thank you that means a lot! ☺️
Is there any indication if the lines you tied across your slip actually pushed the boat that drifted away? Based on where Satori was located, it seems very lucky the drifter boat did not come into your slip.
so so happy for the 3 of you,alls good with the world
+Mark Gallagher, thank you so much!
That line across the slip was a pretty smart move. I'll have to remember that one!
+Allyn Onderdonk, yes we think it helped!
that was genious
I will definitely steal that little trick. Of course I will give you credit 😉.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. You have taught a lot of sailors a great lesson. Wishing you both continued success and adventure. Be safe. Wear you life jacket.
Preparation and anticipate what may happen is everything!! Well done !!
+Jaime Lopez thanks!!
So happy that you came out ok.
Great news!! Congratulations and thanks for the update.

A great relief for you that Satori came through unscathed. Thoughts with all those who suffered in Florida and the islands.

Very good job in preparing your boat. All the hard work paid off.
+Daniel Hoyle, it surely did, we are elated 😀

well positioned and prepared and now very clean..... well done.
+Rustie, thank you!
I just started watching your videos from the beginning. Saw the BVI video, going in June.
We own the houseboat in this video. Moved it from Islamorada for Irma. We also had no damage.
Went back the Keys for a while. Now we keep her at Salty Sam's.
That’s awesome!
Now you can make more videos with your time instead of fixing up a disaster. Glad to see all that work with the webbing helped. Kudos.
+Rick Ruehl, yes and thank you!
Great job, I’m really pleased for you both

Happy, for you guys. Check all the halyards for chafe before you take off. I saw one wrapped around your shrouds.
+David Benore, will do thanks!
Good job, glad you survive so well!
☺️👍🏻⛵️🙏🏻
Im so glad your home is safe 😊
I sailed north 6 days before irma hit.
+SV Methos, we debated leaving but we were worried about getting stuck if something went wrong. Glad you made it out! Thank you 😀
Glad your boat is okay. Seems she came through very well.
That's they way it always is. You prepare you boat as best you can and some other fool doesn't . You did a fine job
Good for you guys, got lucky. Watched a vlog from another sailing couple.They went to check on their boat after the storm and it was gone. They were on St Martin. Felt bad for them.
+William MacGregor, we did get so lucky! I know we saw, heartbreaking :(
Legend has it that King Arthur looked at Irma, and at that point Irma went from a Category 4 to a Category 2 storm!
+Christopher Smith, haha #truth 👑🐶
Christopher Smith Wrong, that was Chuck Norris
Good Job for both of u guys👍👍👍 i feel bad other boat damaged alot by Irma.. keep up, set sail again and sail to paradise😀😀😀⛵🚣
+Roni BN, thank you and we will!
I was really worry for your boat,I'm happy that everything is fine.
