Riding the back of a Hurricane + Our Downwind Pole Setup -Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 308 (Patreon)
Content
Sending everyone out there lot's of love and hope that the recent crazy weather in the US hasn't affected you too much! We made it down to Florida and we're enjoying really nice weather now. Delos is being prepped for her next season, our eyes are on Mexico, Belize, and Central America :). XXOO to everyone and have a fantastic weekend! Brian, Kazza, and the Little Nugget
We test our limits as sailors by riding the back of a hurricane down the coast of New England! A hurricane is passing to our east and we decide to ride the north winds the low creates as it passes by to make a jump south. In anticipation of a rough sail ahead we rig our downwind poles to catch as much sail as possible. The weather is cold and the wind is blowing but we're under control and making good miles, but realize just how tough it is to sail with a baby in these types of conditions.
