We are upgrading our whole anchor set up, starting with a stainless steel anchor from Ultra Products and then adding 100m of stainless steel chain from Cromox. To lift all that, we'll need a reliable windlass so we have increased the size of our windlass motor, switched out the gypsey to match ...
There's steady progress in the yard but we do have to wait for the perfect weather window to paint the top sides so we are finding other things to do during the windy rainy spells.
This week our distraction has been METS - the boat show in Amsterdam. It's the biggest boat show in the world...
The Mooncool Trike was the funnest toy we've gotten in a while. We've been riding it so much the Marina has started to complain. The only problem with it is that we don't have 2: Use “DAVID100” for $100 Off
Today is NEW Dinghy Day and we can't help but deck out our little din...
We upgrade our anchor and chain, replacing our Chinese knock-off Bruce with a shiny new Spade. Ryan also refurbishes a Katadyn/PUR 40E water maker and installs a cockpit/deck shower. We finish off lots of other jobs ready for launch day, while Chicho the ginger tom keeps us company.
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 met when we started our boat search at the b...
Ep. 100 ~ Anchoring can make or break a sailor’s day, but mastering the right techniques is key to a stress-free experience on the water. In this episode, we dive into the art of anchoring with our friend Stu aboard our catamaran. Whether you're new to sailing or a seasoned cruiser, learning ...
We ran out of food in the more remote parts of French Polynesia so we sailed to Tahitit to stock up. But it's super expensive! We are going to have to figure out a better way to survive our stay in this country....and part of that comes in a DIY solution to refilling our cooking gas tanks onboa...
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 protest. When we get there, it's so...
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 around caused our anchor to foul, flew our dro...
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?

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 encounter some very friendly iguanas.
We take...
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 back!

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 speed SD cards so we can send up 'Halo...

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 anchor to make sure it’s holding OK. We then ha...

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 marina. We install our new Mantus Swivel, and m...
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 aboard!

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 project list we repair the tender that came ...
We start our long stay on the hard outfitting the boat with tons of upgrades. We re-embed our chain plates, switch to a compost head and install a new bow roller and anchor. Nathalie starts getting settled into the new life on the boat, and through all the hard work, we make sure to have some fun an...
If you are curious as to what is the best and cheapest insurance policy check out our video about our 35lbs Mantus Anchor. After a lot of research on the different types of anchors for cruising we decided that we wanted a plow anchor. More research later and we had our eyes set on Mantus. We approac...

If you are new to sailing/cruising or plan to be soon, the most important lesson you can take from our experience is to buy the biggest and best anchor you can afford, and learn how to secure it WELL!
The squall in this video was over 60kts with a 180 degree wind reversal... not fun! When I chos...
