O que este vídeo aborda
Epiphany, a sailboat anchored 0.8 miles offshore in Biscayne Bay near Coconut Grove, rode out Hurricane Milton at anchor overnight.Watch At 12:30 a.m., winds had dropped to 20–25 knots with gusts to 40 as a calm band passed between squall lines.0:21 The crew left the sun shades up, a deliberate call based on confidence in the forecast.0:42 Fetch management drove the anchoring position: with the bow pointing east-southeast toward Coconut Grove, the wind-driven wave-building distance fell to under a mile.1:18 The crew reported the dinghy had earlier been washing up over the stern but conditions improved as the wind clocked east and fetch shortened further.1:38 Miami was visible off the starboard stern.1:47 The crew assessed the worst had passed by early morning and expected the storm to clear by 8–9 a.m. Epiphany came through unscathed.1:59 Anchoring position relative to fetch — not just holding ground — proved the critical variable for surviving a hurricane at anchor in an open bay.
