I wanted to show you exactly how a boat anchor behaves on the sea floor. I found a nice popular anchorage where the tide had gone out, exposing the same sandy bottom that the boats in the distance are anchoring in, so we can see exactly what is going on, without the sea being in the way. If you measure the distance from the bow roller to the seabed at high tide, and pay out at least five times that much chain, which is known as 5:1 scope, the anchor should untangle itself and reset in most situations.

#boatfoolssailing #sailing #boatinglife #sailorhumor #endofsailingseason Diagnosis: End of Sailing Season Melancholy! It's a thing... We are off this weekend because we need to wrap up our season and get our Morgan 382 out of the water and put to bed...the season is officially over up here. Naturally it hasn't rained in days (we're in a severe drought) but it's supposed to rain the day we haul... It's not always champagne, caviar, and Dinty Moore or here. And speaking of Dinty Moore, Captain Q will be back in a couple of weeks - so keep tuning in and spreading the word! See you next week! -BoatFools Sailing Team
