O que este vídeo aborda

During the 2018 hurricane season, the 35-foot IOR racer-cruiser Lady K survived the remnants of Tropical Storm Michael in the Chesapeake Bay by anchoring in Spring Cove near the Solomon Islands.2:20 To prepare for forecasted 60-knot winds from the south, the owner deployed a 55-pound Rocna anchor with 200 feet of rode, consisting of all chain and one-inch nylon.6:03 He backed down on the anchor at near-full throttle to ensure a secure set.6:08 During the storm, the boat experienced sustained winds reaching 60 to 70 knots, causing the vessel to surf and heel 10 degrees while pulling against the anchor.6:43 The owner secured the rode to the windlass and the keel-stepped mast as a backup measure.7:34 The anchor held throughout the event, though the owner concluded that remaining aboard during such conditions is a life-or-death situation where the crew is effectively helpless.8:15 He recommends evacuating to a hotel for future storms, as the boat cannot be saved if the ground tackle fails.8:20
