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.

Dealing with cleaning. Preparing the electronic upgrades and most of all, dealing with the Spanish registration and safety inspection. Is there a better option?? I will find out and let you know.... #dinghy #dinghysailing #sailing #sailingboat #sailinglife #boatlife #marina #marinamadness

@iFLY-foiling  Foil sailing is quiet and extremely fast - you just hear the “sound of speed”. Racing above the water surface at high speed over the ocean. What a blast! The iFLY is very reactive due to the high speed sailing - so you just focus on yourself, the wind and the experience of high performance sailing above the surface of the water…. Flysafe®️ dynamic foil control @ifly15 allows you to focus only on sailing. #iFLYsail #WeLoveSpeed #JoinTheAdventure … https://iflysail.com/ … #iFLY15 #sailing #soundofSpeed #foiling #foiling-catamaran #loyaltothefoil #iFLYsail #sailracing #foil #ocean #race #oceanrace

This is what sailing in the Whitsundays is like. The Sacca family sent us this video, with Anthony Sacca filming.
