At 4:40, I like the statement about what a gorgeous world we live in. I hope we remember that moment always as we look at this tragedy unfolding all around us.
793 casualties last night in Italy. A disaster spreading. Thank God Distant Shores helps me to be distracted for a moment. Greetz from the Netherlands....❤️
When I see waterspouts while sailing, I am filled with fear. I’ve managed to never get hit by one in all these years but this video is my worst nightmare!
Fabulous photography of the warm evening. Best I’ve seen to date. The rust stains from the anchor chain locker drains will come off with phosphoric acid 50% concentration, and a little rubbing with a cloth.
Thanks Beth (and Wilfred) yes we do try hard with audio since its so easy to end up with wind noise especially when its blowing as it was in this vid. I was using an external lavaliere mic with a new larger "hedgehog" covering to keep wind away from the mic. then I generally hide the mic if I can under a shirt or in my jacket if wearing one ...
I always learn something from watching your productions. Thank you for "setting-the-bar" so high and sharing your exciting world/life. I always look forward to receiving the notification of your next post. While I am currently not in a position to engage in this lifestyle, you all are living my dream and from your videos, I feel I am getting a bit closer to that reality everyday. Level Vibes as always. Thanks
No sugar coating in this video! Well done and shared! We had an incident last summer near Kingston, ON where the wind was so strong, we dragged anchor even while powering forward with our diesel! A couple more minutes of high winds and we would have been aground. We have enormous respect for Mother Nature after that incident. We limped over to Prynyer's Cove basking in the extreme calm and serenity of that anchorage. G&T to celebrate too!
I remember the post of the waterspout when you posted it on Instagram. It was even more impressive as a YT video plus to see the additional footage and hear from the people that got hit by it. Great video and tips Paul & Cheryl. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This video was recommended to me, probably because of my interest in meteorology. But what an excellent channel - subscribed! Safe travels and good wishes from England. Hannah.
Wonderful video! I once saw the land version of a water spout - a dust devil. It was in a large farmer's field in Kansas. It went up about 300-500 feet and about 80 feet wide at the bottom. It was a sunny day. Otherwise I would have thought it was a small tornado! I'm sure glad that no one was hurt connected with this water spout. Smooth sailing to you. Scott W
Looking at the size of the base, the cloud formations, the weather, the way that boat is blasted, I think this one was getting real close if it wasn't. An F1 is winds greater than 73 statute miles per hour. They said in the video 100mph but I don't know if that was just a figure of speech.
They did an estimate of 100 but it would be very difficult to know that exactly. But that crew have ben sailing for more than 30 years so they do have a fair bit of experience :-)
This clip hit my queue due to the 'waterspout' term in the title. The waterspout is VERY cool but, that footage at night with such a clear sky and bright moonlight is magical.
I remember driving through the FL Keys at 3am with full moon illuminating the cumulous clouds casting shadows on the glimmering water, twinkling stars and warm air that hugs you. Heaven on Earth
New to the channel. I love your night videos it lit so well. We don't own a boat and probably never will but love watching and exploring through your eyes.
You guys are legends! Thank you for all your fascinating videos. We ran into you guys in Lanzarote in 2018, When you arrive to the West side of Puerto Rico we would love to buy you guys a well deserved beer after the Mona passage. 🍺🇵🇷⛵️
Thanks Tyler! Thanks for the kind words. We love Lanzarote as I imagine you do as well! Hopefully we will meet up in an anchorage somewhere for that beer which we could definitely do with about now :-)
You know what folks? I can truthfully say that the world is a better place because Paul and Sheryl Shard are in it. Truly value added to humanity. All the best to ya.
Unbelievable!! So glad all are safe! I love your videos and have learned so much in addition to seeing some incredible places! Thanks for also sharing the realities of cruising and not just palm trees, sunshine and piña coladas like most channels do😊
What a , majestically, exciting "phenomenon" of nature! I'm intrigued as to, how, those "things" actually work! However, the most exciting of all was---- what a beautiful life you people have!---- You all are already in heaven! I love your boat! I never knew that the Bahamas were so beautiful! Just take "beyo 'mega'-excellent care of yourselves so that you can keep enjoying"HEAVEN"----FOREVER!!!!+
I am so glad that everyone is ok especially Zinzi and Distant Shores both off you guys are a beautiful couple. I love your videos and have learned so much The footage is captivating
A word of warning: the water spout likely didn't break up as it went over the islands, it just wasn't as obvious because it wasn't filled with water or soft soil. I whitenessed a water spout from the air in the north west territories a few years back: it would hit a lake and you could see it, then it would hit Canadian shield and become invisible, then hit a lake and 'rematerialize'. You can't get complacent and think it has broken up just because you can't see it. Glad you are ok.
My buddy runs a charter fishing boat out of Wanchese N.C. While heading out one morning we ran through a water spout about this size for fun. He has an old 36ft Hatteras Sportfish so its a heavy boat and we hit it cruising about 20knts. The boat handled it fine, but the outriggers were flexing pretty good. It felt like riding a motorcycle in the ran, the water stung a bit, but all in all it was a fun experience.
Thanks for another great video. Your footage of the waterspout was amazing. I haven’t thought of chicken tetrazzini in over 30 years and that made me smile. Maybe I should make that tonight. We could use a comfort food right about now. Stay safe.
13:16 That is such a gorgeous shot of the waterspout. It has such an awful (the old-school "full of awe" definition) presence, and I'll bet that the camera doesn't even do it justice.
Guys, I just subscrided during you video! Great footage and you know what your talking about. I especially liked mentioning the anchor locker... it is often forgotten and people secure only the snubber line. We always secure the snubber line and the chain, so if the snubber fails their is also the chain secured... quite shockingly I saw many sailors not securing the chain...
We are in the process of revising our ground tackle for a circumnavigation, would like to be able to see (from up close) what you are using as snubber (snubber to chain hookup, lenght) and mooring lines. Wanted to tell you guys you were an inspiration for us, keep up the good videos 🇨🇦
Wow! That must've scared the heck out of you guys seeing that waterspout in the distance. It was close enough that if it went the other direction it could have trapped your vessel as well. It's probably so fast you wouldn't have time to raise the anchor and move out of the way. Thank God nobody was hurt.
@@DistantShoresTV Define OK... confined to port in Palm Beach. Wanted to git offshore at least. Wanted to head down the Keys. Keys are locked up too, although we really don't care and just want to anchor out. Maybe they'll open things up soon. Police were stopping boats going up the ICW, but now seeing a tiny bit of traffic, so maybe they've backed off. regards bill domb m/y Activated Eau
Great video as always! You might have mentioned this before, but can I ask you details about your anchor snubber? How long it is/diameter of the line/hook? Thanks a lot!
I hope I get the chance to swim in clear water like that one day.. It's beautiful.. Edit: Dang, their boat got rocked, that had to be pretty scary. I know I'd still rather go through that than what we get on land here in Dixie Alley though lol. We had a 2.25 mile wide EF4 remove entire houses off their foundations just an hour and a half north of my place last year. Mother nature can be so beautiful, but she can turn on a dime.
Hi Guys, at 4.41 is that Orion in the night sky. I didn’t think you could see it there as I am in Melbourne Australia. Also in one of your video about anchors , you put out two of then ,one on Port side and one on STB side, would that be the best solution to overcome the 45 knots you received ?
Orion is fairly central: you can see it from 85 north (Alert NU Canada, the most northerly permanently inhabited place on earth, is only 82°30'05") to 75 south (you're Austrian, you can probably give a more relevant example than I can for that one 😉). So basically everyone gets to see it, best is between November and February, but from June through August it's behind the Sun.
if you were able to know you weren't going to be hurt, i imagine it might be amazingly fun being in a waterspout... even tho i know this is impossible. i'm trying to find the most dense waterspout ever taken on video... one one which one might almost be able to ride upwards in a raft. i'm sure my imagination is getting the better of me at this point tho. it would be great if one could create a thick waterspout over a big cushiony air mattress (yaknow the type they do stunts with and fall on from way above?)... you turn the air circulation on. the spout is created and it shoots you up. then you fall on the soft bed and slide into the water...
At 4:40, I like the statement about what a gorgeous world we live in. I hope we remember that moment always as we look at this tragedy unfolding all around us.
Thanks Jim and we are with you!! Peace!!

Well the NWO agenda wont get us old salts - Fair winds - Enjoy.
Love it! The footage is captivating. Not only the waterspout, but how well you capture the water, sand and island.
Thanks very much Eric! Glad you liked the video. We also appreciate your comments and your help on the upcoming Panama video :-) Hugs, Sheryl & Paul
That’s a tornadic waterspout
idk, fair weather can get pretty big in the right conditions. usually you have bigger waves with a supercell
When I see waterspouts while sailing, I am filled with fear.
I’ve managed to never get hit by one in all these years but this video is my worst nightmare!
I’ve watched your TV show for years. I love your RUclips videos Thank you for sharing
Fabulous photography of the warm evening. Best I’ve seen to date.

Excellent video! Have a good trip.
Always the highest quality video, sound, narration and music from Distant Shores. Great entertainment. Thank you!!
Even with the wind the quality was great. They need to make a behind the scenes video showing all their technical wizardry 😉

do you think there was a spout embedded in that?
Great video! Wow, that waterspout! Beautiful beaches and pristine waters! Thanks for sharing.

Wow that was amazing, and not just the waterspout (glad they're ok). "What a beautiful world we live in." I love the wind....
Incredible footage of the waterspout. Thanks for sharing and for the excellent video as usual.
What a shot guys
always a tidbit of education. thanks for this one always great. hope you are safe!
Thank you for posting. I always love your videos!
beautiful boat , well handeled
Thanks 👍
Stunning
a very professionally shot, entertaining and EDUCATING video, i must say...
Love your vvideos. Cool shots
Thanks for watching Ryan :-)
OH my!! So glad everyone was OK & thanks for another dreamy beachy video!

Such a wonderful couple !!

@@DistantShoresTV Ya without the instruments turned on, the beaufort chart doesn't exactly cover that 😂🤣
That scene at 3:21 is perhaps where most wish they were right now. Thanks very much for sharing it all and safe travels.

4:41 mark, nice shot of the constellation of Orion.
Your videos are technical, and that may bother some but, your videography is the best of all the boating vlogs. Good job.
Thanks for your kind words Kevin!
beautiful

Great job guys...
Just found your channel, like your filming style, and how beautiful it is.
Welcome aboard! Glad you like the shows.

Wow it reminded me of the wizard of oz. Great video as always. You 2 are very calming.
Wow!!😮
Great video!!!
Beautifully done. Consider adding (a graphic or telling us on-camera) the ambient air temperature. Helps put the viewer into the scene.
glad they were ok, that could have been bad!
Thanks for another great video. Your footage of the waterspout was amazing. I haven’t thought of chicken tetrazzini in over 30 years and that made me smile. Maybe I should make that tonight. We could use a comfort food right about now. Stay safe.
Thanks for the kind words Bob! And amen to the comfort food now :-)
Great vid ya'll.
Looks like a tornadic waterspout
13:16 That is such a gorgeous shot of the waterspout. It has such an awful (the old-school "full of awe" definition) presence, and I'll bet that the camera doesn't even do it justice.
Wow, scary shugar :)
Oh yes, time for distant chores

Hope you all are safe from this virus.
Be safe & God bless us all,
Chris from Missouri
Thanks Chris! Yes we're fine and currently back in Canada in the studio catching up on editing :-)
You look great Cheryl! You lost weight. Love your video!
We saw a waterspout off the East coast of Cozumel few years ago. Captivating, but luckily, a mile or so away. 🌪
Yes a mile away is a nice distance :-)
Yeahhhh.. That's straight up just a tornado over water lol. Stay safe out there
I live in the LA area near the ocean and there are a lot of water spouts in my county just down the hill from where I live
Wow! That must've scared the heck out of you guys seeing that waterspout in the distance. It was close enough that if it went the other direction it could have trapped your vessel as well. It's probably so fast you wouldn't have time to raise the anchor and move out of the way. Thank God nobody was hurt.
Ya in that event it's probably safer to keep the anchor on place: they can out run you in a car, so I'd never try and out run one in a boat.
Wuaoooo!!! really lucky
Targeted by a Predator at 9:33. Close call, you got lucky mate
Scary man, scary.. cool all's good..
That's no ordinary waterspout - that's a mesocyclonic tornado.
there was no meso and it broke up upon hitting the shore
Nice video
P&S...thinking about you two over in the UK...hope all's well & you're safe.
Do you guys know what make/model of yacht the one caught in the spout was? What a beautiful trawler!
spins crazily huh
Got caught in that same blow while in a marina at Emerald Bay. Ripped out a heavy cleat with rollers in the marina.
Whoa that sucks! I have never been into Emerald Bay but heard a bit of surge works in there. Hope all is OK now!

In the pre front night shots, how is the anchor line offset from the bow? surely the wind current would keep your downwind of the anchor??
13:16 tornado!
♡灿♡
What is the weather equipment/app that you use?
The best video of a storm that was recorded closely. It's terrible if until the storm is enlarged.
Thanks Bang. Yes it was certainly very close and very large so it was easy to see close details of the waterspout!
@@DistantShoresTV You're welcome sir.
I think you have a great Boat, no questions.... But, have you ever considered the Catamaran option? Yes/why not? Cheers
I know this question answers itself, but do you find because of your shallow draft, you can anchor in places that most others don’t? Even Catamarans
Views, Likes, Comments and Shares... Love You Folks

THAT'S A TORNADO FOLKS
if you were able to know you weren't going to be hurt, i imagine it might be amazingly fun being in a waterspout... even tho i know this is impossible.
i'm trying to find the most dense waterspout ever taken on video... one one which one might almost be able to ride upwards in a raft. i'm sure my imagination is getting the better of me at this point tho.
it would be great if one could create a thick waterspout over a big cushiony air mattress (yaknow the type they do stunts with and fall on from way above?)... you turn the air circulation on. the spout is created and it shoots you up. then you fall on the soft bed and slide into the water...
Mamia😱😱😱😱
That looks more like a tornado.
Your audio is incredible! I can hear you so well with no wind noise in 30kts!!
What microphone and dead cat setup do you use?
No way...!!
5:00 anticyclone
Ive seen water spouts but thank god not up close.
When are you going to sail in the Pacific?
We were scheduled to sail out now... we'll have to see what our options are for this season... tough times ...
I live in exuma
the waterspout is at 13:13 .. you are welcome
Luckiest catamaran ever!
Omg a tornado is kamin in de earth
