In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, we finally get off the mooring and head offshore, but anchoring becomes an issue when our Lofrans Tigress windlass fails. At least we finally get to hang out with Anthony again! He was the first really good friend we ...

This time the sharks of Compass Cay come to visit us instead of the other way around. A steady stream of these beautiful creatures comes to the boat to hang out with us. A deeply hung over Lisa makes the hike to Rachel's Bubble Bath on Compass Cay, under p...

We compared our GoPro Hero 7 Black with a red lens filter to our GoPro Hero 10 Black with no filter to see what worked better for underwater filming in the shallow, clear blue waters of White Point in the Bahamas. But first we checked to see if spinning ar...

White Point is by far our favourite Exumas anchorage. There's lots of room, beautiful beaches and startlingly clear water. Celebrate our return to White Point with us by exploring the shadows under the waves with us. What will we find under here? Don't fo...

At Jacks Bay on Great Guana Cay we struggle with anchoring on what looks like a sandy bottom, but it's actually sand over rock, until we get way close to the beautiful beach. Exploring takes us to South Gaulin Cay, beside Bitter Guana Cay, where we encount...

We try to dive the anchor at every stop, especially if we're in a crowded anchorage or expecting high winds. It's great piece of mind, and it's another excuse to jump in the ocean and have a look around. Watch to the end to find out what might be looking b...

Does Size Matter? A little job like replacing a Mantus chain hook strap can make anchoring easier, faster and a whole lot safer. We finally received the Mantus chain hook straps we ordered before we left the US. We got our new GoPro 10 and some more high s...

In this video, we are in Sardinia on the Costa Smeralda which is where we headed to hide out from some strong winds that were due to blow over the next few days. We stay onboard throughout the strong winds, gusting 50kts and Lars dives on our Mantus M2 anc...

We return to our boat after being away for 6 weeks. While we were away there was a major windstorm, record amounts of rain, and some snow. Once we assessed any possible damage it was time to get started on some boat projects before we have to leave the mar...

Our last night in the marina we have some very important prepping to do before we leave on our first passage. We need to install our new Mantus anchor and unbox our Torqeedo electric outboard motor, as these will be crucial items for our journey. Welcome a...

One of the things we've done to prepare Temptress for long-term cruising is upgrade our anchor and chain. Here's a look at our new "85-pound" Mantus, and Clark's reasons for choosing it. SUBSCRIBE and click the BELL to see new videos every week, and more ...

We purchased our boat and now we need to start on some upgrades for an upcoming passage. We buy a Torqeedo electric outboard motor for our tender as well as a new Mantus Anchor to keep our boat from floating away when we don't want it to. Also on the proje...
