When docking your boat there are two schools of thought on the best way to secure your boat. In todays video we show you how to secure your boat or yacht with the OXO method. As with many things sailors usually have a preference and will get passionate about it, calling out anyone who goes with the other option. Team at bottom up boats has a preference for the OXO. If you want to look at why we thing the OXO knot is the best one to use while docking your boat then watch our full length video where we compare the OXO method to the cleat hitch. https://youtu.be/LepMcTJuFfI Thanks for stopping by and supporting the team at Bottom up Boats, why not join the bottom up boats crew by subscribing to our channel.
We had Skoota hauled out yesterday at the marina in Indiantown, Florida about 20 miles inland and on the canal to Lake Okeechobee. That makes it a safe place to store a boat during the hurricane season. Thus it is hugely popular, many of the cruisers we met in the Bahamas said they stored their boats here. We'd passed by on our trip east on New Years Day but hadn't really appreciated just how large a facility it is. As you can see from this video taken from Skoota's foredeck - it's huge. Apparently there is room for 500 boats in storage plus a large work yard Skoota will be staying here until late November, meantime we fly off on Monday (if we can work out how to get to the airport, 100 miles away)
