When I was watching the video, I saw the tracks on your chart plotter with numerous tracks south of Sandy Cay. Would like to see a video on the “Don’t Rock” passage. Every trip I use that passage but always get a little nervous on the first pass!
I can do that! And yea, in a center console you can make it cutting on the inside of Sandy Cay but it can get tight. I generally don’t take that route and instead take Don’t Rock Passage at anything lower than mid-tide. I definitely can clarify that all in a video.
Hey Nick, Great video!! I started using those aluminum anchors and I love them, especially when you have to walk the anchors!!Ohh yeah let Meli drive the boat, and teach her how to dock too!! you never know when she may need to take the helm. BTW where is She from? We love watching you guys!
I appreciate that! And they are awesome anchors. We have slowly been working with her on the boat but I want to make a full video of it! You never know when she will need it. It’s a safety thing. Meli is from Bolivia!
Absolutely not. For our uses it is just something else to break. This boat is basically exclusively used in the islands were we are always anchored in 30’ or less of water and so it is very easy to just manually deploy and pull up the anchor. It is also really hard to get anything fixed over here in the islands and windlass is something else to break. Those things combined make it not a good option for us. Simplicity is king
Even I realize and I try to get better with every video. They are slowing getting better, video by video. If you watch my earliest videos it was way worse haha
You are not supposed to anchor in the beach sand. Needs to be in the water with a small buoy to identify the anchor in order to avoid people hitting it.

Great!!! No center console. I have a Cobalt R33 OB with triple Yamaha 300’s.
Awesome video Nick.
Thank you!
Nick that’s a phenomenal thumbnail 😮💨👌🏽
I try my hardest with these thumbnails.

@@NickOlinde awesome guys, I am in the process of teaching my Fiance how to drive and dock our boat too. Greetings from Coral springs!!
@@KIWI_ADVENTURES that’s awesome! You are not very far from me.
@@NickOlinde 🤙🏽
I would say pulling has a huge time factor if you're at a crowded spot and there's a crosswind.
I would absolutely agree would that. I should’ve talked about that situation
How trip people walking on the beach. That rope could be 1/4 the length for a stern and especially in such calm conditions
Nick, how come you don’t have an electric windless on this boat?
Yes 👍🏽
yes
U need a windless….

Very long winded. You could of done this video in about 4 minutes.
really man
I love your videos. I’m just saying..

Its getting better!

Not hard but you are breathing heavy.. lol.
Haha I need to get in a little better shape!
Not how I like to do it
There are many different ways and this is just the way that I do it and it works.
