🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [13/52] 🪢 These are the apps we use to make our anchor life a little bit smoother and get a little piece of mind at night! Do you use these too or do you have other favorites that should be added to the list, let us know in the comments! 🗺️ Navionics The app which we use for navigation. When it’s time to anchor, we use it to find a good spot and as we drop the anchor the one at the helm pushes the pin button creating a marker for the anchor location. ⚓️ Anchor Pro An app which works as an anchor alarm. We use the position from the Navionics marker and type it into the Anchor Pro app. There is an error margin as we get the position at the helm and the anchor is at the bow, but it works well enough! We then put in an allowed radius depending on the amount of chain and general surroundings. The app sounds an alarm if we go outside that radius. It’s not necessary to have the Pro version, but it allows for the app to send notifications to other units if the alarm goes off. 💬 Telegram It’s an app for chats and communication. For us, we use it to communicate with the Anchor Pro app. As long as we have internet onboard we can send a message in the Telegram app to the unit running the Anchor Pro and we get an instant reply with anchor distance and bearing. We also get instant notifications if there is an alarm. 📍Marine Traffic It’s an app for watching world wide AIS targets. As long as we leave the AIS running (and we are not in a too remote place) then we can watch our boat's position on here. If sh*t were to go really bad and Linnea would for some reason leave the anchorage without us, we could in theory track and find our boat this way. Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this 🫶🏼

Night sailing just got easier! 🌙⛵ Sector lights are a crucial navigation tool for every beginner sailor. When you view the beam dead-on, it appears white — this means you are in the safe sector. Drift too far to one side and the color changes: green tells you your angle is incorrect and to turn port, while red signals danger and a course correction to starboard. Understanding sector lights helps you avoid hazards, shoals, or drifting off course at night. Improve your sailing safety, navigation skills, and confidence on the water with this quick sailing tutorial! ⛵ Learn More • Sail Better • Stay Safe ✨ If you’re new to sailing — subscribe for more beginner sailing tips, navigation basics, knots, boating safety, and real-world seamanship lessons! 🎓 Watch our full navigation tutorial here ➜ https://youtu.be/30csRFMZh24 📘 Download your free navigation cheat sheets ➜ bit.ly/LatestCheats
