In last week’s episode, we dragged anchor in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. We wanted to talk about what anchoring techniques and equipment we had aboard Atticus at the time and discuss what Lessons we learned from the experience.
Figuring out how to anchor is an intimidating topic for new cruisers. We’ve collaborated with Trio Travels, Zingaro, Sailing Uma, White Spot Pirates, Venture Lives, MJ Sailing and Follow the Boat to talk about dragging experience so that you guys can learn from our mistakes!
We also have a technician from Mantus Marine and Fortress Marine Anchors joining us to chime in on the discussion.

Sailing Project Atticus
We're Jordan and Desiree! Our newest crew member is Captain Oso. We spent 6 years restoring and sailing on our 30 foot sailboat, "Atticus I". We made it as far as Panama, when we decided to upgrade to "Atticus II", our larger, more reliable family sailboat. We are now heading towards the Mediterranean to start our sailboat family!
