Your voice is like a crystaline water spring, it jumps joyfully. You know what? You are a woman for all the seasons. I like very much to think that as to myself. Thank you for your lovely video.
Thanks for the question. At the stern of the boat I can manoever the boat, use the engine, see the depth of the water and fix the anchor without leaving the cockpit. I need to be careful indeed.
Try this. First hook on your snubber. Tie a length of rope to the anchor chain as close to that pulley as possible. Run the other end out to a winch, ideally the furthest one from the pulley that has a clear line of sight. Winch it in as far as you can before the chain reaches the winch and tie off the rope somehow to prevent the rope paying out again; don't rely on the winch alone to lock it off, if it slips while you are holding the chain you'll lose your fingers in the pulley. Reconnect the snubber and reattach the rope close to the pulley. Repeat until you can easily retrieve your anchor by hand. We did this when our electric windlass failed and we dragged off of a shelf and drifted into 200m of water with 40m of chain hanging straight down making it virtually impossible for two of us to retrieve by hand, Single handed there would have been no chance. If you practice the above procedure in advance you will be better prepared and maybe have a length of rope prepared with a hook attached to save you having to tie it to the chain repeatedly.
I had the pleasure of sailing to the South Pacific aboard a proper Dutch yacht. 32 meters of pure Holland Jachtbouw. The finest yachts in the world are built in the Netherlands. Be it motor or sailing.👍🇳🇱⛵️
Thanks for the question. At the stern of the boat I can manouver the boat, use the engine, see the depth of the water and fix the anchor without leaving the cockpit.
I have where near your experience under the cloth, but when anchoring off the back don't you run the risk of having the rode or chain getting hung up on the rudder or prop as the boat drifts while anchored?
I don't have a bow roller or a windlass. When I work from the stern I can use the engine and see the depth of the water and the anchor without leaving the cockpit.
G'Day*... Yes... enjoyable stroll ashore... Had a thought (?)... because you may enjoy to see albatross while at sea ??????? you may like to know that they nest in New Zealand... Otago Peninsula... down Dunedin way... Can look up details 'online' if interested ? Ha ha... You may even recognise one ! 😄and... The albatross, may even recognise yourself !😄...

That’s a great anchor you have there.
Yes it is!
Happy happy happy 🤗
Yes!
Thanks for the anchor tip. Good one for me solosailor. Stay safe ❤
🙏
I am a regular subsccriber. I loved the slow pan of your boat at the end. Its all about the boat I would say.
Thanks. Looking forward to all your lovely comments
Thanks!
Hi Garry. Thanks so much for your support!
Very nice video. You are amazing Jaqueline! J&J
Thanks Jim.

I think you need to attach a trip line to your anchors. It would make it a lot easier to retrieve them.
Thanks Edwin!
Hello, nice video, just wonder why do you lift the anchor at the Stern? Isn't it more dangerous with the propeller?

I like to know also

Great to be the only one there.
Very special indeed
Love the video Amiga stay safe!

Yes we have good boatbuilders in The Netherlands
Where do you store your cool dark dinghy while on passage and how do you manage to inflate/deflate it?
Thanks for the question. I fold the dinghy in a backpack and stow it in the quarterbirth. I use a manual pump to inflate and deflate it.
Kiwi are nocturnal. 😀
I learned that yes 😀
Very nice island. Special process to anchoring, we understand why. How deep are the anchoring in general?
I would say 4-10 meters
when you leave the bay of islands do you plan to go North or South. There are plenty of good anchorages either way.
First I will go south. I was in Whangarei and now headed for Hauraki gulf
HI Jacqueline , una question, why do you throuhg the anchore behind the ship ? normaly it is in front off the ship, thanks.
Thanks for the question. At the stern of the boat I can manouver the boat, use the engine, see the depth of the water and fix the anchor without leaving the cockpit.
I have where near your experience under the cloth, but when anchoring off the back don't you run the risk of having the rode or chain getting hung up on the rudder or prop as the boat drifts while anchored?
That's a good question. I actually tie the anchorchain/rode on the bow.
:)
😁
Why do you prefer all that stern hard work instead of the classic bow solution?
I don't have a bow roller or a windlass. When I work from the stern I can use the engine and see the depth of the water and the anchor without leaving the cockpit.

Thanks for sharing. I heard that indeed.
Love to see these videos
Why do you anchor at the stern?
How do you inflate the dinghy?
All the best

sorry to say, but Kiwi's are nightbirds, so no luck during the day
Yes I learned that indeed.
Thanks!
Wish she was in my regional forecast
