First Long Weekend … Tragedy Avoided!

We narrowly avoided Latitude Adjustment drifting from its anchorage and hitting rocks on our first long weekend of 2024. Find out what happened and how you can minimize this scenario from happening to you. Subscribe to ‪@boatingwithlatitudeadjustment‬ #boating #georgianbay #travel

You're in my spot! :) I anchor Drake III right there very often.
The incident is strange though. The holding is very good there, and there's no real seaweed in the spring.

The video was taken were our boat rescuers brought the boat back and anchored. We were initially anchored out a bit further.

Rocha is an excellent choice of anchor. I have a delta on Quest. Thought of keeping the delta as a second one and going to the Rocha. Little pricy though. Tests Ive seen show the fastest resetting anchor is the Rocha in most 180 degree resets.

That's what lead me to purchasing the Rocna. We are fine tuning our hardware and will update our anchoring techniques and be diligent about it. Stay tuned, I think I'll make a video about lessons learned on anchoring coming soon.

Hopefully boating has been less dramatic since that afternoon!

When your sitting at the dock, absolutely! Unfortuantly, we haven't been out again as the engines are getting worked on and we haven't been able to use them for the last two weeks ... soon though!
