Caught in a SUDDEN Storm at SEA on a SMALL Boat // Teulu Tribe

Well, it finally happened. Our first storm at sea, and boy was it a wild one, but it almost felt like the two years were preparing us for this very moment. So, grab a brew and listening to the howl of the wind as it rattles our rigging and sends us on a course we didn't expect to be on.

*About Us*
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn't have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.

However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.

We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit

Don't blow away with us in this one 😉 joking asides, that was for sure the wildest weather we have had to date. Listening with headphones gives you a real feel for how it really was that night. Do you like thunderstorms?

[Laurelandiron]

Becca encouraging Zach was just the purest thing I’ve heard in a long while ❤

[jonunya]

a heap of mango slices on top of a good vanilla ice cream is amazing

[brianclarke]

I am only half way through this video, probably your best ever. Sails were trim, the night shots were excellent. Passage planning not easy. When delivering we did not eat, got the best out of the boat, fluids only. Well done. Filming was excellent. Ticked all the boxes for me.

[HellyWelly]

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain ❤

[Woobrio]

All I can say is that you two are VERY brave!! You are so supportive of one another ... well done to you both.

[marcoruis]

Wauw Becka you are so brave. Encouraging Zach in a stormy night. Especially during a dark night when everything seems to be more scary than during daylight. You both got this.

[billym]

Becca, your "Mango Face" was frekin' hysterical! LOVE IT!

[myrionvazquez]

Love when she said she’s going to do a little yoga 🧘🏽 while visiting Nicaragua

[seantiz]

Thank you, as always, for taking us on your adventure.

[danlindberg]

These two youngsters have a GREAT attitude!! The folks following this sailing boat and crew are AWESOME with all the support they give to Becka and Zach!

[davcox]

Talk about the calm before the storm and then back to the calm. Certainly wild, beautiful and dramatic. But that’s the beauty of sailing. It stirs all the emotions. Another great vlog guys and stunning editing once again.

[SamuelKTennis]

Great video. Congratulations on weathering that storm so competently and calmly. Thank you for sharing.

[GeorgeHarn-es]

Hello, That was great work to deal with that severe storm. You two have come a long long way since you started. I have been wondering if you are planning to enclose the cockpit so you can stay dry? Keep up the good work. Your videos are great. ciao. geo

[fpsgamer]

Well done Zack and Becka. Sailing in storms is what brings out all of the seamanship skills you have acquired since you left Blighty.
I liked how you both kept the encouragement going through the rough parts. Well done once again

[tienloongtong]

Your knowledge and assuredness in such a small period needs experience, that you handle such in a completely professional manner is the hallmark of true mariners. You are inspiring.

[MattieLove]

You always surprise me with your videos, you're awesome!

[stevecrombie]

KIDS! You're gonna need a bigger boat. 😉 Glad you made it safely through that storm. The support you gave each other was excellent. The hotel wasn't vacant Zach, it was hosting a buzzard convention. Good job all. Stay safe. Love you. ❤🙏

[paulstephens]

I remember your timid voices leaving Plymouth sound when you first said we’re bloody doing it. Well you certainly have become seasoned sailors. What a difference a year or two makes. Still loving your vids.👍😎👍

[ianbasson]

A hairy night ride but you came through it. The marina looks perfect, Mangoes on demand. What skill the local guy had.
