Re: Running From Weather

You're in a completely different part of the country 280 miles away. We made the decision to head north when 35-55 knots was predicted for Sibenik and areas north. You should know about the Bora...

Re: Running From Weather

Not the case at all. Raid your kitchen cabinets at home, fuel up early (don't wait until everyone else has the same idea), turn the key and go.



And by that time you would be hundreds of miles...

Re: Running From Weather

Your escape route was north then a left turn up a river, next year.... be someplace else. Meanwhile, strip down the outside of your boat, maybe even the solar panels if wind is expected to exceed...

Re: Running From Weather

Glad we moved and now safely anchored here in Uvala Soline for two days. :smile:

I think people like us who live on the hook much of the year are more aware of the weather, what it can do and the...

Re: Running From Weather

Then it sounds as if you do exactly what we do with a proactive approach. Stay away from hurricane and typhoon zones during the season, and get out of the way of oncoming storms.

We have no...

Re: Running From Weather

I'm showing how it's possible to get out of the way of a storm and what it looks like to be doing it.... let's pretend here in desktop cyberspace that the winds here in Croatia are expected to be...

Re: Running From Weather

John,

I hardly think of what my wife and I have been doing over the past five days as risking our lives to save our boat. It's just common sense to get out of the way of a well-forecast storm or...

Re: Running From Weather

Here's actual video footage of two cruisers "running from weather" in Croatia. Had they remained 150 miles south five days ago staring into the headlights, it was pretty much guaranteed that they'd...

Re: Running From Weather

Gord,

My insurance company will not cover boats who have owners which choose to keep them in hurricane alley during the hurricane season. Why are these boats even located in the path? The time...

Re: Running From Weather

Some of this phenom may also be attributed to an attitude created in America over the past 15 years or so of everyone becoming victims in waiting, and the people with boats having a marina type...
