S4, Ep50 Sailing Couple Survives Their Worst Storm Yet — What Happened
You can't claim to be a true sailor until you have experienced a bad storm on your boat. Especially an unexpected storm, that doesn't comply with any weather prediction model. This storm was the worst one we have experienced so far on the Mystic and we keep learning more about our sailboat and about ourselves as sailors. Come join us in this one, to either share stories of how you have experienced worse, to see us get hazed by mother nature to earn our sailing stripes, or to empathize with how scary sailing can get sometimes.
