(I know this is a year late!!) But congrats on 1st sundowner + anchorage. It is such a great perspective to witness your first few experiences on the boat while awaiting for your new videos weekly. I truely enjoy watching how well you are working together as a couple and captain/1st mate- inspiring! Thanks
Yes that’s a pretty open anchorage especially for your first anchor out. Nice job though. Look at prevailing wind, current over night before anchoring and try to put yourself behind a shoreline or something that will protect you from wind and fetch.
😂 haha yes it was a new term for us as well, but a fun tradition! No... actually Ollie and using the bathroom on the boat has been an on going struggle for the last couple months. Rope ❌ Astro Turf ❌ Dog Pads ❌ , our next effort is real grass haha
Thanks Barry! We have been using a line off our Sampson post to take some load off our windlass, but we’ve never used a bridal… We just learned about it though and will be incorporating it in the future! Thanks for the tip 👍
This is so exciting! Congrats on a successful maiden voyage! Ollie is soooo freakin' cute in her life vest! She'll adapt to doing her business soon. 😊 Btw, you said "over," but you didn't make the static noise with your mouth! 😜
When you anchor the moment the anchor hits the water are before put it in reverse when the boat start moving to the rear put it neutral after the line is out set the hook.never drop the hook going foward never
We did try Astro-turf, but it was just the typical Home Depot variety, and it hasn’t worked for us.. Do you recommend any specific type of grassmat? As of now we’ve tried fake grass, rope, other dog’s business, her business, pheromone spray, pee pads - all to no avail 😞
You guys are awesome 👍😎
New haircuts, who dis?! 💇🏽♀️💇🏽♂️This was SO COOL, minus the rockin’! Loved all of the boat shots! 😍
😂 Thanks for watching! It was such a beautiful day on the loop... not a fun end but the day was really fun!
The more Rhodesia you lay out, the better hold your anchor will have. Also a bridal is crucial!
Thanks! Since we added a bridal recently it has changed the game 😁

Oh my gosh the boat was really rocking!!! 🌊
What a first night - since then we've seen what "real" rocking is haha

For sure! This is the comment we needed before even starting this trip 😂 some things are learned the hard way though - thanks!
@@SchoandJo For all of us!
Yess first sundowner!! So proud of you guys for doing so well your first day out!! 🥂
Funny enough we didn't actually make it onto the flybridge for enjoying it 😂 Too rough haha
Loved Murphy’s Island. Great video.
I'm catching up backwards. Your first sundowner! I've learned so many new words in this vlog 😄. Did Ollie use the bathroom on the rope?

Haha! The weird thing is that she likes wearing her vest... Still no luck with the business but hey every day is a new attempt 😂
@@SchoandJo she’ll get it!
Thumb rule is when you are just seeing white caps, wind is about 15 knots
When you anchor the moment the anchor hits the water are before put it in reverse when the boat start moving to the rear put it neutral after the line is out set the hook.never drop the hook going foward never
