Our First Time Away From Home - 2 Girls Learn to Anchor (Sappho At Sea, S2 Ep. 1)

Here we take you along for the ride of our first ever overnight trip and anchorage. Often called a "shakedown cruise" its where you essentially figure out all the things you have forgotten, or that don't work, to prepare for longer trips - we did this on a smaller scale, bouncing around the Gulf Islands. I'm amazed how much faster Sappho is under power - we can motor places at twice the speed or more, that Ruckus did. This is also the first time in almost a year that Kailey and I have tried cruising and anchoring, now in a much larger boat, with an all chain rode and a manual windlass. Always something to learn out here!
