Riding out that kind of weather looks intense. Do you find it all exhilarating or an adrenaline rush? Or is it all just nervous and uncomfortable? I could see where some would find that exhilarating, and even derive a sense of joy from partaking and a ride with nature like that, but I'm very well aware that the camera lens often hides just how bad something really is. Is there any level of enjoyment in that kind of weather-filled journey?

Snotty, when the wind streaks the water, and next it takes the tops off the waves… it's time to run for cover.
You two are showing grit. Well done.

Great episode well done you two. Try adding a very small amount of water to your whisky before you drink it, it makes it much more enjoyable . The experts do!

A heart rate increasing experience. Great video!!!! Did some walking in the area when there was no bridge, back in the late 1980's. A cheap temporary insulation against cold is using sheets of bubble wrap over the windows, walls and between layers of blankets and on the ground.

It is always so funny to me when i see sailors that have been halfway around the world encounter the Atlantic coast of Europe and be like WTF... Why do you think we have 20ton sailboats with pilothouses ??? Welcome to the thonderdome keep on going strong and Don't underestimate the coast of Portugal.

Wow, that’s perhaps the most terrifying sailing video I have seen.
40knts with a lee shore that close.
If your engine failed you….
Too deep to anchor in the channel. Too close to the rocks where you can.
I trust you had the anchor ready to drop. Ideally with a 100m line so you could anchor in deep water.
(I have a couple of 60m nylon climbing ropes for that emergency) .
I guess your safer option was to have stayed on anchor, but on watch with the motor running. Or aim for somewhere sheltered with a decent mooring down wind, ie Gairloch.
