A severe storm system brings sustained winds exceeding 40 knots to an anchorage in Portugal, forcing the crew of a Sunreef 62 to remain aboard for several days.2:25 During the peak of the weather, multiple vessels in the anchorage drag their anchors, with one boat drifting past the crew’s position at approximately two knots before eventually finding holding in shallower water.19:15 The crew monitors local conditions using dual anchor alarms and a data hub that tracks wind speed, allowing them to observe wind shifts and potential drag events from inside the cabin.1:55 Between storm cells, the crew performs maintenance tasks, including replacing lifelines with 8mm Dyneema using a Brummel lock splice and installing chafe guards where the lines contact standing rigging.11:02 The crew also prepares for an upcoming Atlantic crossing by provisioning and planning metalwork for life raft supports.18:48 The storm eventually passes, allowing the crew to move to a marina to replace their standing rigging.26:16
