Sometimes it’s nigh impossible to craft the perfect video title. After our struggle with last episode’s title, we think we nailed it with this one. Let us know what you think. ;D

Storms threaten, and a dragging anchor one evening puts us on edge. The next night we mix up a drink fitting the mood to calm our nerves while we wait. Will the wind be as strong again? Will the lightning get too close this time? The following day we have a very chill daysail, experiment with a new anchoring technique to keep the boat from rolling in the ocean swell, and explore the underwater world. All part of cruising life in the islands.


Hope you enjoy!
Lauren & Kirk

THE ABACO ISLANDS, POST-HURRICANE DORIAN:

This footage was filmed prior to the utter devastation wreaked by Hurricane Dorian in September 2019. Dorian hit the Abaco Islands as a category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 185 mph, flattening most structures and leaving 70,000 people homeless. They are still rebuilding — and will be for a long time.
