Welcome to our page - we are Captain Ken & Kelly living on our sailboat full time. We decided that we wanted more out of life than a 40+ hours work week just to pay the bills.
We started cruising late 2019 after selling all of our belongings to follow a dream. We are not retirement age - but just decided to take a chance in life to sail & cruise.
We have sailed up & down the Florida southwest coast, Florida Keys to Dry Tortugas National Park to Bahamas through the Exumas to the out islands.
We restored our 1990 Gemini 3200 Catamaran for 3.5 years prior to leaving land. Our videos are projects, every day life & cruising lifestyle.
Life is all about taking risks & living with no regrets. We hope you follow along as we explore, sail & work together on projects. Thanks for watching🫶

They do have good stuff and anything that you need for your boat but they will sell you something that is used for the new price so be careful and watch for what you buy but yes good boat store
@@jumpncarry8478 yes
SOMEONE NEEDS TO learn how to pan. I'm suffering to watch thru till end - content is good. 25% playback speed & mute sound makes this much easier to watch.
Thanks Randy, there was way too much to see it all
I love this place. I grew up in Ft.Lauderdale and thought Sailorman on 84 was great. This is that place times a hundred.
I would like to check out Sailorman. There's another place we love in St. Pete called Don's marine salvage , we did a video on it.
If they put a strip bar in there, I'd probably never leave.
That guys insurance policy must be outrageous. What do you think that Inventory is valued at?
There's no telling, he's got a lot of stuff
I have the same Gemini I am restoring, any idea what brand/model hatches you have?
We put in Bomar hatches, can't remember model. It was 6 years ago
gonna spray or role?
@@thomasbond403 role and tipping
What kind of paint and what kind of prep?
And are you going to sand?
And grind out the crazing cracks
@@waltsailing2009 the previous owner had painted it before
Even PILOTS love this place...they DO have PROP WASH!
We have to do this at some point , we will have to come by and get some tips
None of the items are marked with a price! You take your item to the front desk and the guy there looks you up and down and then decides the price. The place has a holier than thou atmosphere.
@@petenaylor1353 yeah, dress down a little bit
Why not measure the length of the halyard retrieval line, instead of attaching and measuring a separate string?
The retrieval line is actually the other end of the halyard.
Can you demo raising and lowering the sail with the new system?
@@RichardMauri yes we can, video is coming soon, with in a few weeks
Sea monster eggs
Music too loud.
@@44WillysMB thanks, we've had that problem with uploading, when editing it's not as loud, once uploaded it gets louder.
Your video would be better with no music. I went to mute while I watched it.
@@kenshamrock7395 thanks, for some reason the music got louder after I posted it.
They just have seven meaning no can have one ?
No one is allowed to build these on the water like this anymore. 😢
Cool videos glad i found your channel 🤙🏾
Welcome to The Crooked Anchor!! Thanks so much for watching. Be sure to reach out if you have any questions on our channel 😀
A safety line and harness while out of the cockpit might just be a good idea in conditions like this.
Definitely.
The fortune cookies at the beginning of your videos are hilarious. I have learned nothing from them.
@@davidalbright7335 thanks David
thanks, we pass this place and wanted to stop, looks well worth it.
We thought it was great, you'll love it too.
очень красиво!!
Thank you!!
We love this place. Not sure there isn’t much they don’t have !!
Watch those traffic jams 😂
Get r done!!
Dirty job but all done 😊
@@svthecrookedanchorfor what its worth, pour a little vodka in my ears afterward just to be safe How did you get the bug out of your ear ?
@@bdiver6445I put alcohol in my ear to kill it, took about a week but kept snorkeling until it washed itself out. Wear earplugs now.
@@svthecrookedanchor thanks, ear plugs are a good idea...
Where did you get the drain insert?
@@brod12313 We bought them at Marine Surplus in Sarasota, Florida. I think they do shipping.
@@svthecrookedanchor nice...ty
#island #art #😍
May I suggest adding a few of these #s to y'alls description. Sailing it self isn't a popular topic, but that's because most the younger generations don't even know about sailing. But everyone love travel influencers and beautiful islands. So the younger folks are searching these #s to see content like y'alls #travel #travellife #travelblog #yolo #funlife #islandtime #beachfun #explore #adventuretime #party #lit #🧜♀️
Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it 😊
Wow great job I’m going to try copy that Thank you buddy
@@montecitomonte2926 thank you for the comment
That is Beautiful!!
What type of varnish have you used?
@@pascalgarrido2233 since it is inside, we used Helmsman indoor/outdoor spar urethane
Gr8 spot 4 Ciders and bluegrass
What is this beach at 3:25?
It was the Moriah Harbour National Park - not sure of the beach name. Most beautiful spot on Georgetown 🤩
We have been doing a lot of varnishing this week
@@SVFresh2Salty always something to do on a boat
This Plane Can Be Seen In Google Earth
We'll check that out.
I'm not wild about the "drama music," but it's a nice clip. I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.
Thanks 😊
Where is this ?
It’s Marine Connection Liquidatiors in Fort Pierce. Very well stocked
@svthecrookedanchor Thanks, I'm doing up a 50ft steal motor sailer. Is hard finding certain things.
Is that a cat thing ?
No, it can be used on monos and cats. Cleats are needed on bow & stern. Works well!
Love that place
I second your opinion....I feel smarterer already....
It's so weird seeing a corded drill these days. It even sounds different. Brings me back to my childhood.
Yeah - capt is old school 😂
Have you been to the big marine warehouse /liquidators place ?
@@SVFresh2Salty yes we have, love that place, bought a new air conditioner for our boat there this week.
4 tons of spares.... Lol ... How I roll.. thanks
@@wheel2keel yep
What's something like that cost?
We don't know. But it's cool.
They spell tropical vibes to my ears!🏖❤ (also AMAZING skills you got there)
Tropical vibes!!
Lol!!
Love this video! Ken is such a talented musician!
Yes, he is 😊 thank you
It's not extra it's SPARE... Got cha .
We loved the piano !! That’s as far south as we got it was amazing !
Well it used to be,,,,a weeks worth of fresh food used to 20-30 bucks....No need to go unless you got a cool hundo !!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@markchamley7559 I don't know what happened last week we got 3-lb bag of potatoes for $2.00 1-lb bag of carrots for $2.00 and 2 mangos for $2.00(s1.00 each)
Where is this market?
Hey Ken, The Boat rental dock to your left, has fuel ON the dock!
Thanks for the info! Appreciate it
@@svthecrookedanchor BTW I was on Sea Life and did the lazy River With you.
@@HalaciousCharters that's cool, where you at now?

I wonder if you might customize it further to collect rainwater.
