83. Reality of Owning a Boat [Moved to a Dock] | Learning the Lines - DIY Sailing

Freebie has been at anchor for a few weeks, and in that time period we’ve lost a lot of sleep worrying about dragging anchor. It seems that our fears were warranted as we drug multiple times in those few weeks. Aside from getting hung up on sunken engine blocks, our 200′ of chain and 35 pound mantus seemed to do nothing for us anytime it blew over 15 knots because of the poor holding.

It was time get out of that anchorage before we drug to shore. We found an affordable private dock here in Marathon, FL and we’re sleeping much better at night now.

If you’re looking for affordable dockage in the keys, I encourage you to post in local facebook groups like we did. We had multiple people reach out to us with offers to rent their dock space at a reasonable rate.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20’s, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we’re in our 30’s. We’re not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. For this reason our channel is very DIY focused, with the goal to show anyone watching that a lot is possible if you’re not afraid to make some mistakes along the way.
