Surprising thing to have onboard. Do you also carry these? #boatlife #cruisinglife #sailorslife

? Sunday Boat Tip [14/52] ? Sharing cards is a popular way to share information to stay in touch with other cruisers ?? It's easy and fast, and with this lifestyle people tend to not have their phones on them all the time, which makes cards an even greater advantage. We made our design ourselves, but it's easy to find templates online (for instance in the Canva app) or reach out to someone who could design them for you if you have special ideas. Just make sure to check the format if you use a template, I believe classic business cards have different size standards in different countries which could be a problem once you send them for print. Ours are just in normal business card style paper, but in hindsight, some kind of waxed paper would be nice so it could withstand some water ?? Don't forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this ??

This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm! We made our way to Marsh Harbour early this morning to hopefully find a good anchorage in anticipation of the weekend's big blow. Forecasted to be in upwards of 60kn, it's at least 20kn more than we've experienced. That's a LOT OF WIND! Suffice it to say, Marsh Harbour wasn't vacant. We were able to find, what we hope to be, a nice hole between some sailboats. To our aft are the folks from Sailing Zephyr...very cool. Anyways, we're confident in our ground tackle but you always have to worry about other boats dragging. Our anchor is a Spade 160 and is oversized for our boat...that said, if there's an abrupt wind shift of 180º, all anchors will have to reset themselves. This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm
