Just watched your clip ! I am so very proud of you to do this ! You’re on it on a different level. Been there and done it many times. You’re a pro ! And this is a year later.
Your channel is fun because you are obviously having fun making it. You're full of energy and always smiling, it's very uplifting. I love the way you explain everything you do on the boat. I'm a big fan. 🙂
I think this is my favorite comment! I LOVE doing this and I’m having so much fun making videos for everyone! I really love the support thank you!! 🙌🏼😊
Really enjoyed this one. Your great at explaining it. I never practiced anchoring before. Your hunter is a nice size boat. Also like watching the dogs. They look like my dog
It might be in one of Sheldon and Amy's episodes of fun with flags, the starboard spreader flag halyard is for courtesy flags when visiting other countries, or your YC or pirate flag 🙂the USA should be on a staff at the stern of the ship.
Nice video Christa, luv cali mountains and the view, your so lucky to have that, im in florida sand and ccoconuts but I luv this to,, nice to see your lil buddies swimming around with you 😀, have fun God bless
Thanks for making these videos. Im a “boatless” sailor that leaves vicariously through channels like yours. I’m a member of a sailing club and charter out of Newport, so these are all places that I’ve been or will go. Looking forward to more videos
We usually get a Catalina 30 for day sails around Newport and something a little bigger for Catalina. My favorite was a Beneteau 373, but it’s not on the fleet anymore. We got hooked after doing a skippered charter to Catalina on a Oceanis 35.1. That was a dream boat, but the daily rate is just prohibitive. Prices have gotten crazy lately (500 to 700/ day), so we haven’t done it in a while.
Pulling anchor looked good to me. Good idea to move forward to ease some stress on the windlass. Anything that eases the stress on a motor extends the life of said motor and that's a win.
An easier was to pull up the anker rope is to run it to your winch on the side of the mast. This is assuming you have a winch on the side of the mast. I couldn't tell in the video.
Good work Capt, @tim’s idea to use the halyard winch for the road is bruddie maverous!!!!! Also some of us don’t mind little fishing segments in between the sailing.❤⛵️🎣🌊🏄
Nice another good episode I was just watching wind hippie sailing when you gonna do some adventuring go outside your comfort zone I’m looking forward to that break and waves should be somewhere around where you’re at right now you should look them up it helps with the numbers just saying you know what I mean I enjoyed the episode keep up the good work
Hi Captain, awesome video!! I have a Lewmar Vx1 windlass on my 26 foot boat and it is designed to use Rode and Chain both. I use 5/8 3 strand rode with 1/4 inch chain and have never had a problem with it pulling up the rode and transitioning to the chain. maybe they make a Gypsy for your windlass that would work the same.
AYE AYE Captain , shiver me timbers yet another koool vid, those anchors baffle me,as they're ment to stop you drifting around but you can raise them without to much bother !!! what if they get snagged up ? do you have to literally dive down there to free them..BIG LOVE to you & the sea dog crew :)
Thank you! And yes the are meant to be used in muddy and sandy bottoms! if they get stuck sometimes you have to dive it yes! and when you pull vertical on it they come out but if you pull horizontally they stay put! I love that name! Sea dog crew!
@@CaptainChrista ahhh that makes sence thanks for the heads up, I've been to sea for a total of 6xwks when i was a teenager many moon tides ago & have always been facinated by the freedom & isolation of the worlds oceans . I was in a yacht race in 1979 called the fastnet.many sailboats perished in huge waves,its something that I'll never forget but lived too tell the tale..it takes a special kinda person to be a sailor & you've definetly got the skills and fortitude to become a great sea going adventurer of the hight degree..fairwinds Captain Christa :)
Hey Homie, could you take your anchor rode and run it back to the winch for your main halyard and crank with that to pull your anchor rode in far enough to get the chain onto the windlass gypsy? or all the way back to the cockpit cabion top and use your main sheet winch and then use blocks as fairleads to keep the rode from rubbing on anything. Watching you have that much trouble makes me nervous for when the time comes that you're forced to pull up anchor in heavy sea conditions or in heavy winds. That day will come and you never know when that'll be.
A better option for a second anchor instead of a mushroom is a Danforth or fluke anchor. They stow flat, and can't be beaten in mud by any other anchor. The Mushroom tends to drag whenever any kind of real force is put to it. A Danforth is how I reeled in my wife. I told her I had a Hooker tied up in the basement, and I asked if she wanted to see it. She grabbed a kitchen knife and followed me into the basement. It was a Hooker brand Danforth anchor tied up down there, and I told her I liked sailing. We've been married for 20 years now.
Ever considered bringing on someone looking for sailing experience to train for their captain certification? I bought a 30' sailboat with little to no experience now looking to get certified but not really interested in giving alot of money to big businesses and would rather give that income to actual sailors living the dream on the water. What is your opinion on this perspective?
Hello, I started watching your videos, your problem with the anchor is that you have the wrong rope, I have the same motor for the anchor and it works very well, my boat is a power boat and it only has 20 ft of chain, and in another video I noticed that the negative of your battery is oxidized, if you don't clean it well you will start to have problems....I like your videos good luck.
Need to get yourself into boat fitness. Pulling up the chain,rowing the dinghy, hoisting the mainsail, learn to use the boat as an gym. And go for an long hike when you are on shore. Helps to keep the body in condition. The dogs need to as well. Gerard
Smart decisions young captain lady.! Wondering… How did you get your sailing knowledge at such young age? Please don’t say You Tube.! A sailing family? How is it you have so much confidence and self reliance at young age. 👍🏻⛵️😎😍🥲

For a buffalo milk or some other treat at twin/cat harbor next time you’re there. That smile and attitude of yours 🤗….cheers 🍻
Thank you so much obie and Laurie! I’ll grab one next time I’m there lol thank you for the support! Cheers!
The best advice i can give you from my experience boating is to try and be prepared for as many emergencies as possible!!!!
agreed! great advice!

I watched this video last night, and today I copied your tacos. THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!
Nice video Christa, luv cali mountains and the view, your so lucky to have that, im in florida sand and ccoconuts but I luv this to,, nice to see your lil buddies swimming around with you 😀, have fun God bless
It’s beautiful here I’m planning to sail around Florida one day! Thank you God bless you too!
So impressed on all levels. Boat handling, video content and editing. I follow many sailing channels, you are my new favorite.
Wow thank you! That makes me so happy to hear! I really appreciate your encouragement!
Stunning in every way 👌
Thank you! 😊
Just came across your channel and enjoyed watching the video. Great shots of the dolphins.
Thank you so much for the support! The dolphins are awesome ⛵️

Thank you!! I agree I handled it well but it was definitely a struggle! Thankyou for the support!
Fun videos your making. Informative, adventurous, and joyful.
Thank you!!
What a beautiful night on anchor! Thanks for the video ⛵️
Thank you!
So many dolphins!! Awesome!
It’s so fun! They are awesome!
another awesome video! love how honest you are about everything, and the views are just sweet.
Thank you!! It’s beautiful in Catalina!
An easier was to pull up the anker rope is to run it to your winch on the side of the mast. This is assuming you have a winch on the side of the mast. I couldn't tell in the video.
I don’t have one haha
Good work Capt, @tim’s idea to use the halyard winch for the road is bruddie maverous!!!!! Also some of us don’t mind little fishing segments in between the sailing.❤⛵️🎣🌊🏄
I agree!! Thank you so much for the support!!
Enjoying your new adventures at Sea.
Thank you!! I appreciate the support!
If you like the sea glass then sail north to Fort Bragg and visit the Glass Beach, you'll find a lot!
I’ve actually visited there with my mom, but not by boat we drove, it’s an amazing place. I definitely would want to sail!
Nice job pulling the anchor solo, that can't be easy. Wonder if a remote control would help with the windlass so you could be back at the helm.
Nice another good episode I was just watching wind hippie sailing when you gonna do some adventuring go outside your comfort zone I’m looking forward to that break and waves should be somewhere around where you’re at right now you should look them up it helps with the numbers just saying you know what I mean I enjoyed the episode keep up the good work
Awesome thank you! I appreciate the support, will do!
Awsome video! Thank you! Aloha from Kauai!
Thank you! I’ve heard Kauai is a beautiful island!
I enjoyed the episode. Looking forward to more. Sometimes being toasted is okay too. LoL.
Hahaha 😂 I was like oh no that’s not what I meant!
i am going to follow you on this channel captain, i like your little boat😁 i just found you 👍
Thank you! I do too!
Your confidence and smile just knocks me overboard!!! Be careful, is the dingy rope strong enough?
Thank you for the support! I sure hope so lol
If not I’ll practice a man overboard for it!
Hi Captain, awesome video!! I have a Lewmar Vx1 windlass on my 26 foot boat and it is designed to use Rode and Chain both.

I enjoy your videos another fun and interesting trip
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Very nice videos you put out :)
Thank you!!!!
Love your show
Thank you!!
Well done Miss Toasted :)
Oh no 😂😂 this is not my new nick name 😂 haha I Audibly laughed at this!
Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you!
Fun videos- you seem very accomplished! I was wondering if you would consider sailing your boat to Hawaii sometime?? Cheers 🎉
Absolutely! Maybe not this boat, but then again maybe, I’d have to save up and purchase a lot of safety equipment first!
How much power does that solar panel at the end of the video produce? I may look into something similar to use before I install a full solar system
I’d have to double check I’m not 100% right now!
You’re really getting good at handling your boat,please remember to connect the little cable on your stern rail you could fall overboard real easy😕
Will do thank you for the support!
since you have a rope to chain splice, you might be able to use the windlass with the anchor line also... try a short test..it might work
There’s writing next to the windlass that says do not put the line in it! yes
New sub here. Never been to Catalina and was interested in spending the night on my boat. Silly question but are the moorings free to use?
A better option for a second anchor instead of a mushroom is a Danforth or fluke anchor. They stow flat, and can't be beaten in mud by any other anchor.

Well I’m glad that worked out for you 😂😂
good shit cap!!
Thank you!!
Can you anchor where ever u want and do u have to ask permission or reserve?

What is your opinion on this perspective?
This seems like I really cool idea! I’ve never though about it but honestly that could be cool!
Mabey double check to see if that windless has a combination rope/chain gypsy.
I will do that!
Vero Beach Florida 🏖️⛱️💯

That does not look like veggie quesadilla tacos things...I saw carne asada for sure! You must of been really toasty!🤣
Hahahah they were suppose to be veggie then I saw the left over tri tip and couldn’t resist 😂
@@CaptainChrista LOL~!
Do you live aboard full time in that 30 ft. boat? Or is it a weekend cruiser.
No just a cruiser but the goal is to!

Agreed! Thank you for the advice and support!
What is the patch you are wearing is it for medication
Yes thank you for the support!
Nice 👍
Thank you!!
How the hell are you in the pacific without a wetsuit? I lived in LA for 35 years and could not do that since I was a teenager.
Hahah the water is warm!!
What, like 65F? No way.@@CaptainChrista
I checked my dive logs, I saw 67F ONCE! Usually surface was about 62F during the summer. Too cold for me!@@CaptainChrista
Need to get yourself into boat fitness. Pulling up the chain,rowing the dinghy, hoisting the mainsail, learn to use the boat as an gym. And go for an long hike when you are on shore. Helps to keep the body in condition. The dogs need to as well.
Gerard
thanks for the support!
@@CaptainChrista Thank you for the reply. Have you looked at my vlogs and joined my channel yet ?.
B e much apprecheated.
Gerard.
you read the windlass manual and it said no line?
It’s written next to it yes!
do you think you can make it to miami???
Definitely

I’ll give her a new mushroom 🍄 😂
No thanks!

Better not let a shark get those lil dogs
ABSOLUTELY NOT! They are not shark snacks!
Aren’t you afraid sharks will get your puppies?
Nope! No reason to live my life in fear!
i love you.
Why did you stop making videos...
I have a new one out!!
I just started your videos and another very important thing to have on your boat are TOOLS.
Dont call it a "dingy"...its called a "tender".....
i like the word dinghy better lol
curious to know what that black box is attached to your navel? Is that a diabetic monitor?
Something like that! thanks!
Smart decisions young captain lady.! Wondering… How did you get your sailing knowledge at such young age? Please don’t say You Tube.! A sailing family?
How is it you have so much confidence and self reliance at young age. 👍🏻⛵️😎😍🥲
