Ep. 2.75- Afternoon anchor-out! Gotta get off the dock!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Even if it is just a short cruise or anchor-out, we like to get off the dock as much as possible. In this video we go to a nearby anchorage and show you how we launch, set, and retrieve our anchor. The link to the tide graph App: www.tidegraph.... You can get it for IOS and Android, just search "Tide Graph" in the app store. And the anchor alarm app is called "Drag Queen," and again you can find it in IOS and Android app stores.

What a gem of a channel. You compliment each other well and its nice to see someone applying their knowledge and takes the time to explain it well. Best of luck to you both.
Thanks so much Steve! Really appreciate you tuning in!
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for tuning in! And sorry for the late reply, I am back! Hope you keep watching for future videos.
I am really enjoying your channel. So glad I found it. It is great that you are sharing your knowledge. You explain things well. Your channel is both entertaining and educational. Amira adds just the right touch of humor. I predict your channel will gain a large following. I love the boat and you two guys, truly awesome.
I restored a 1974 24 foot Yankee Seahorse, which I keep at a slip on a freshwater lake. When I am not working on a boat, my truck, or my cabin, I write humorous short stories, but not all that well.
Thanks so much Jack! We really appreciate the kind words and feedback! I would love to see a photo of the Yankee Seahorse. Whereabouts is your homebase?
@3:39 "We've got a good hold." I agree with that assesment Captain Butch. I felt compelled to pause.
So informative. You should teach boating and maintenance.
Appreciate it! That thought has been in the back of my mind actually. Thanks again for the input and watching
Ahoy maties !!! You two complement each other. She is playful and you are the strong seaman type. Also your videos are professionally done, good audio and video. Like how sea worthy your trawler looks. Admire how resourceful and self reliant you are learning to do all those repairs. St. Pete is about 100 miles South of us. Glad I found your channel.
Greetings from a chilly, Autumnal UK. I’ve only just discovered your wonderful channel, what an informative, nicely presented channel you have. It’s good to understand the basics which you explain very well, so when my Euromillions win (£169mio tonight!) comes in I’d be confident to anchor my trawler now!
What a delightful message to receive this morning, I am very happy you have stumbled across my channel from across the channel, Andrew. I appreciate the feedback, and I look forward to seeing you out on the water aboard your dream trawler when you hit it big. And don’t forget me when you do, as I would be happy to be hired to help you get accustomed to your yacht.
I am SO glad I found your channel. My husband and I are interested in pursuing life on a trawler once the last of our children goes off to college. We have about 5 years until that happens and hope to learn as much as we can in the meantime. Your videos are priceless. I hope you keep making them so that we can learn and find resources. Amira is darling. She is a ray of sunshine and adds joy to the informative videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. ...from Kim in Michigan
Did you buy a boat yet?
Best view of rear anchor deployment ever LOL
It's good to be the Captain. ;)
Keep this up guys. So informative. Not often you come across a young experienced captain and a newbie on the same video so appreciated. This is my plan upon retiring in 8 years. my experience involves my parents driveway built houseboat on a lake in the Midwest. Studying hard. Yours is one of my favorite vessels also considering older Kadey Krogens. Keep em coming.
Thanks so much Damon, we really appreciate the kind words! We are very happy to have you along, and look forward to seeing you on the water when you get to live the boat life. We seriously considered a Krogen 42, awesome boat.
You are providing good information for those unknowing....little things that can be huge.
Thanks so much fiftyfishbottom, I am very happy to hear that it is valued.
Your videos are a great mix of boating experience (Butch) along with a first mate (Amira) who is early on the learning curve... We (my wife and I) are retired and in the process of figuring out exactly what trawler features are important to us so that we can narrow down our search. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future!
Much appreciated CortezEd! Let us know if there is anything that you would like us to include in our videos to help you narrow down what you are looking for in a trawler.
There's that Woo girl I'm learning to love! I'm going to start a drinking game Everytime I hear Woo I'm drinking hahaha
So glad I came across your channel. There are a lot of sailing channels but not many motor vessel channels that are actually living aboard. I look forward to every Ep. Thanks for filming and all the info.1 day I will be out there.
Thank you Frank! We are very happy to help fill the void on RUclips and are so glad to hear that others appreciate it.
Enjoyed your video as I have of all the others...... Keep up the good work...
Thanks very much Byron!
Another informative video...wow, I wish you were on the west coast when I find a boat, so I could hire you to take a look. Your attention to detail shows. I keep learning and realize how far I need to go. I did fly jets for NASA so hoping that technical gene kicks in with boating, but that was may years ago. I do appreciate detail directed at the newbie!!
Claire, that's so awesome that you flew for NASA! I am sure the technical attention to detail will translate very well in to boating. We travel around the country alot, so you never know, might be in your neck of the woods when you find a boat. We would be very happy to help.
nice job......... Two Great Captains
Thanks Ed!
Good stuff! Glad to have caught your channel at the beginning! My wife and I are planning on buying a Trawler and living aboard. We'll keep track of your progress from here in Boston!
Thanks again Naters, and sorry for the late reply! I will have to let you know next time I'm up in Boston, I should be back up there for work within the next couple of months.
Aqua-Cultured awesome! Would love to talk to ya about your experience thus far! Lemme know! I'll be tuned in.
Just gunna throw this out there... Amira is adorable. You're a lucky man. (Beautiful boat, also. I have a 26' Cruisers Inc. I grew up on my dad's 32' all wood Pacemaker flybridge cruiser and 45' Columbia sailboat.)
I am certainly a lucky man. Those are some great boats to have spent some time on! Thanks for joining along!
Say hello to Ben Mallah!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Very good. Thanks
Very good tutorial Thank you
Thanks again Ken!
Excellent channel, excellent videos. Life is good indeed ! If you are ever up in the Philadelphia area, please. Give us a shout. Love to meet you guys. Stay safe. Kevin
Thank you very much Kevin. We will definitely give you a shout if we make it up that way.
We saw your boat at the marina where you keep her, we were touring some other boats their for sale, I liked the Tolleycraft too. We really love the Defever 44' also, but we bought a Grand Banks 36 about 6 weeks ago with same engines as yours. We live in Clearwater. Maybe we will see you around!
Jeff thanks so much for the comment. Nice! Congrats on the GB 36! Definitely hope to see you out on the water, please keep in touch!
First mate is a bit bananas , aint she ?
Love your channel I grew up in St Pete also, on Snell isle. My wife and I are looking to take to the seas now that the kids are older. We love the trollers to but I can never find a video showing them docking in the slips because I was wondering how hard is it to see
Hi King tob, thanks so much for tuning in, and so sorry for the delay in responding. The difficulty docking a trawler varies from boat to boat. Some have better sightlines astern than others, some helms are forward, some are farther aft, some have a large covered aft deck, and some have a dinghy on the sundeck roof blocking view. Thank you for the idea, we will make note to produce a video covering the very subject sometime. Stay tuned!
Love the video. Very helpful and enjoyable. Any way you can put links to those apps you used in video, so it's easier to find? Thanks!
Thanks very much David, and good call! I just put the app info in the description under the video. The two apps were "Tide Graph" and "Drag Queen."
How about a video of preparing and serving a meal from your galley? Also, what is the weight of your tender? I mean the one on your boat deck.
Hey Kevin, sorry for the delayed response! We will definitely do a video that includes preparing a meal in the galley. We are definitely good with our taco and tequila night!
Our sailboat is in a private slip on Beaver Lake in Northwest Arkansas. Here is a photo of our boat. Copy and paste did not work. I'll have to figure out how to add a photo to my reply and try again. I could have added a link to my sailboat restoration blog, but I don't want people to think I'm advertising my books.
Go ahead and add the link, you can blame it on me! Would love to see it.
Here is the link to my restoration blog. sailboatprojectorbust.wordpress.com
She likes the camera ehhh
Looks like a nice place to anchor for the afternoon. Is that a dolphin at 9:31?
Hi, I love your videos and the info you provide. But my question is ... I want to buy a boat next year and I know you are a Captain, and I dont know nothing about navigation. Can I contract your knowledge to learn how to navigate a boat ? If not can you point me to the right way in order to learn everything about boat navigation ?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much Vladimir! I would be glad to help you out when the time comes. In the meantime, I recommend you sign up for a Boating Skills and Seamanship class with a nearby Coast Guard Auxilliary, or a class with the United States Power Squadron. That will give you a good start! I recommend every boater takes one or more of those courses, no matter your experience level.
Wow Thanks a lot man for the info , I will take it when the time comes. I hope to see out there.
God bless you and be safe.
I am a member of both organizations and highly recommend.
Just curious...do Americans tend to fly their anchor ball (black ball) when at anchor? Generally most people do here in the UK. I was just curious if it was practiced in the US?
The anchor ball is utilized in the US as well, all though it is rare to see on anything under 100ft, atleast from what I have seen. I typically only see it on boats with paid crew.
I really don't know much about boats yet, so with that in mind...how far could 900 gallons of fuel take you?
Hi Mike Manning! It depends on how hard you are running the engines, what the current, wind and waves are doing, onboard weight, etc. But let's say for example that conditions are ideal, this vessel can take you 1,500 nautical miles. So theoretically, M/V Aqua-Cultured could make it to Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands on one load of fuel.
Just to let you know your last video is not avaiable at the moment (sept 08)
Thanks for letting me know Jean-Pierre. Did it ever become available for you?
Aqua-Cultured
Glad your safe after Irma.It is not avalable for me. I am in Canada . May be it is been blocked for some reason.
The folowing video works fine. Do you have info about thr state of your boat?
Just gunna throw this out there... Amira is adorable. You're a lucky man. (Beautiful boat, also. I have a 26' Cruisers Inc. I grew up on my dad's 32' all wood Pacemaker flybridge cruiser and 45' Columbia sailboat.)
Thank you! I am certainly a lucky man and I never take it for granted! Hope to see you out on the water sometime
