I did this with a leadline from our tender the first time we anchored next to Lerici Castle for the night. I thought it was quite funny that I was probably the first person to sound the bay by leadline in about 200 years, and I have to admit I felt a bit captain Cook-esque as I did it :-) It made for a sound sleep at anchor though!
One addendum I would note, is that after you’ve anchored, use the tender to do a more detailed survey of the area surrounding your vessel, so that you are certain that if the vessel swings or yaws on the anchor, that it won’t swing onto an unknown obstruction (Google; MV “Nella Dan”, Antarctic shipwreck). Also, survey further afield in case conditions change and make the Anchorage untenable and you have to evacuate. I used to put out my own emergency markers, for overnight stays on the Great Barrier Reef, using a divers’ weight belt attached by line to a transparent or translucent plastic milk bottle with coloured Cyalume sticks inside (Red and Green for Port and Starboard - noting direction of buoyage!)
In part 6 they put away the anchor. Might be a lot of mess in heavy weather to get it back in place before you have the possibility to go into the bay...
I wouldn't want to be standing on that spreader with a halyard in one hand and a shroud in the other if/when the boat makes an unexpected stop on a rock or a bar!

You can see Amyr Klink’s Paratii2 at 1:31 with its almost unique aerorig.
High tech, low tech, and a visual. Can't go wrongl with that approach
Needs a longer intro

3:34 Didn't even look behind him. Damn near hit the outboard operator in the head!
Too much " Show" not enough caution.

They checked it 1st , but yeah me neither .
where did you get that yellow hand held sounder?
Looks like it might be a Speedtech Depthmate or Vexilar hand held sonar.
But his boat has a retractable keel ?
He looks & sounds like "Sonny" for "Sonny & Cher"
