Surviving a Cat. 4 Hurricane (Matthew) on our sailboat at anchor in Haiti. We break down our plan into 3 basic steps: Protection from wind, waves and other boats. Also, get a BIG ASS ANCHOR!

This can be a VERY rough passage. We watch the weather and sail directly 6 days offshore from the Exumas to the Caribbean. We start in Staniel Cay in the Exuma Islands installing our new battery bank, then set sail for the Caribbean. This is often a tough offshore passage as the winds are predominantly on the nose.
Great sailing, at least the last clip.
