  • Our plans to sail to Norfolk, Virginia are thwarted by the New England winter weather. We pull in last minute to an anchorage to hide from a storm but it gets the best of us.
    Check out what caused us to abandon our boat anchor and tops of our list of scary sailing experiences so far.

      I found it got drastically better when we got rid of the CQR and switched to all chain. Haven't had a problem since!

    Enjoying the series!
    Like the boat. Like your chemistry...
    If "she's the skipper" why does the boat have a not American flag?

      I am Canadian :) and that boat was owned by John before "she" became the Skipper! Keep watching you'll see! Xx

      John has been practicing! So hopefully the drone shots only get better and better!! ❤️ We got it back thank goodness but it continues to cause problems, not our favourite anchor brand!! ⚓
