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.
