A fost aproape ca și cum Neptun mi-ar fi ascultat atitudinea încrezătoare față de navigație și m-a doborât să-mi dea o lecție. Sunt recunoscător că am ajuns în dimineața următoare pentru a naviga încă o zi în această călătorie epică spre sud de la Toronto la Bahamas. Îți mulțumesc Neptun pentru că m-ai învățat această lecție vitală…

Times such as this and the ones ahead to come are certainly nerve racking for sure.You seemed to have handled this like a pro.Didnt panic and figured out a solution to the problem. It's times like this that make you better.
Great job
Hey Michael! Martin here!WWe met at Atlantic City. The problem is you need more chain man. At least a hundred feet. With the length of your boat 150 would be good. Remember y 30' boat, 110 foot chain. Did not drag an inch. Too much rode it will wrap around your keel bro. Be safe man!
Mike, great episode. When we made the trip down from Canada, I was afraid of getting keel wrap once we got to tidal areas. I had found a simple way to help prevent this. By setting a "sentinel" anchor/kettle, the rode will be kept below the keel as the tide reverses. I used my 8lb dinghy anchor as the sentinel on the rode which worked great. Just set the length to a depth below the keel and also tied a recovery line to the sentinel to retrieve before pulling up your anchor
Enjoying your videos.
Awesome job! School of life for sure, best school there is. Good thing you didn't have a wing keel. Are tides new too you, I'm looking forward to venturing, but as you know, Great Lakes is the best sailing in the world! Hopefully see you back in the fresh water some day!
Hey Mike …ive been watching. Every video so far cant wait to see yje next one …stay safe

I assume your not all chain. It is possible to see your anchor rode if you walk half way down the deck on the side that’s facing the wind. With your boat hook hook extend all the way out see if you can hook the rode. Slowly pull the boat hook up till you see the rode on the surface. With a coil of half inch or three eights line about fifty foot in length tie 4 or 5 half hitch’s on your anchor rode then bring this line to the bow. Of course you are leaving this line slack. Uncoil your anchor rode off the wind less then wrap the 50 ft of line on the drum and start taking tension on the line. It will pull the bow to weather. When the half hitches come up on deck let in run over the drum until you have say 10 feet aboard. During this time your fender will be visible and you can pull the rest of the rode in by hand. Sounds hard but it’s really not. Let the windless do the work. If the fender is not free, untie it and let the rode unwind itself from the keel. As long as it’s only blowing 10 knots or so this will work. I’ve done it it 3 kts of current on a 40 ft. sloop! If it happens to you again it’s a good option. Your doing great and your reward will be a warm winter in the Bahamas living large!
Great comeback Michael! Just wondering, does it help you to go over it in your mind & ponder the answer, while verbalizing on camera? You were right, it sure did get crazy! Glad we could all be of help if your answer to above question was yes 😏 Safe Voyage
Just subscribed. This is great content and I hope to follow you all the way down. I was a big fan of the trip lady K sailing did along this route. Good luck!
Thank you for turning off the music while you are talking
