Did you know that if the wind doubles in speed, its power increasees by 8!? So when we get hit by a 50 knot gale its not twice as strong as 25 knots.... its 8 times stronger!! Check out how Delos and the crew handle it :) Sending you love, smiles and fair weather for the weekend! Cheers, Brian

Sailing into a 50 KNOT GALE- Worst Storm We've Ever Seen- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 93

Sailing to Madagascar we get hit by the biggest gale we've ever seen. We're about 240 miles East of the northern cape of Madagascar when the GRIB files start to show a compressed pressure gradient and forecasts of 30-40 knots. We shorten sail and prepare for the rough weather.
