In this episode, I dive into how sailors and cruisers deal with one of the biggest threats on the ocean — hurricanes.

Fifty years ago, crossing an ocean meant hoping you didn’t run into a storm. There was no internet, no satellite tracking, and little warning. Today, we carry a weather computer in our pocket, with live hurricane data, Starlink connectivity, and routing tools that can literally save lives.

We’ll talk about:

How hurricane forecasting has changed in just a few decades

The role of Starlink and modern weather apps at sea

What the “hurricane box” is — and why insurance won’t cover you inside it

How cruisers migrate north and south each year to stay safe

Where sailors ride out storms (the famous “hurricane holes”)

The truth about insurance loopholes and “named storm” clauses

Real stories, lessons learned, and what it’s like to live with hurricane season as a full-time cruiser

If you’ve ever wondered how modern sailors dodge hurricanes — or how it was done before the digital age — this episode will blow your mind.
