Cruising the CARIBBEAN has lots of UPS and DOWNS, sometimes ALL AT ONCE! As we make headway with some recent BOAT ISSUES, we maybe get a little cocky. What better time to get KNOCKED DOWN A PEG by a seemingly simple maneuver. But it's all about learning so we don't screw it up the next ...

CLOSE Encounters With GIANT BOATS – City Anchoring in the CARIBBEAN | SailAway 183

Things can get DICEY when anchoring next to MEGA YACHTS and CRUISE SHIPS. But it's NOT always PRISTINE anchorages and remote, desolate BEACHES that define the SAILING LIFE. For us, a good dose of METRO ANCHORING works wonders at times. When you're out here for YEARS, sometimes dropping t...
