    I think your channel is the best at portraying real world sailing experiences.

    Just curious why you never got a flopper-stopper? - it saved me in many anchorages - keep smiling and enjoying 👍🏼

      @@michaelmiller2599 we’ve been on boats with them and for us it’s not worth the extra gear and strain on the rig . We typically avoid these types of Anchorages but we’re a bit unlucky here 😂

    Boy I am rethinking my plans to sail beyond my comfort zone, love the honesty though! Question, is that a GB flag flying off your transom, where is the Canadian flag?

      @@Sv_SeaDuctress Haha yes this anchorage definitely had us rethink our cruising plans for a minute 😂 We fly the old Canadian Flag , pre World war 2. A lot of classic boats fly this flag back in Bc but we rarely see people flying it elsewhere .

    Just curious. Does anyone use a hammock while sailing and sleeping.

      We have a hammock on board for then we are at anchor 😄 while sailing no, but we do sleep in it at times yes!

    Have you ever tried a anchor bridal?

    • @sailingsitka
      @sailingsitka  Месяц назад +1

      Yup, we use a bridle every time we anchor 😄 works like a charm!

      @ I’m talking about when you pull in some chain and put a line to the chain with a rolling hitch, let the chain back out, & lead it to the stern of the boat. Then take up the slack on the line turning the bow into the swell.

      @ will definitely try it , always good to add some new techniques to keep the boat as comfortable as possible.
