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.

Before starting the engine, always drop the engine leg/propeller to the water. While sailing, this takes half a knot down the speed if left in water

Watch as a boater secures his vessel before a storm hits, discussing the brutal wave impact on other boats in the marina. Safety first when nature strikes! #BoatingSafety #StormPrep #MarineLife #Sailing #BoatLife
