Here's a quick point about those anchor apps. The reason Tim said you should put a USB point near your bed to run the app is that running them just on your phone or an unplugged tablet will chew through their batteries so quickly they might not make it through the night.

As always, though, Tim hit the nail on the head about anchoring being the bane of every sailor's existence, Even when you pick what looks like a perfectly positioned spot and settle back, it often seems that someone (usually a big launch) will come in very close, set their anchor so their boat sits right over your anchor, and worst of all just drop their anchor, rather than set it properly. I've never been "kissed" by another boat, though, which is what I tell myself to calm my fears.

About water; I installed a reverse osmosis system. It’s running for 2 years now with the first set of filters. I regularly test the water and it’s still very fine. Total cost so far is under €200,-
A new set of filters is only €60,-
Works great without electricity. Only for fresh drinking water of course because the pressure of that system is pretty low.

Brilliant truth about anchors and anchor apps.

Transplanting from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest, a 60' anchorage isn't uncommon. As you said, 'Chain is king". I'm carrying 350' chain with a 50' rode. Living aboard a cruise-focused sailboat, the tankage allows the elimination of a watermaker; although strictly a subjective opinion, simplicity adds peace. Great video!

I lived aboard for 25 years, on five different boats. Loved it and hated it.

When you address electrical power, you must consider long periods of overcast skies. Last year, we experienced 5 days of constant storms in the Pacific. By the end of that, we were hand steering without instruments due to the lack of solar power. An exhaust manifold leak had overheated the alternator. I'm installing wind generator and solar panels on my boat. Even with large batteries, they have to be charged. And both wind and solar can disappear for a while.

For me the worst things are going through a period of week/two weeks something breaks everyday and you can fix it but it's the fact you have to , then you find out your new girlfriend who has been sailing since year 1 thinks sailing means living in a casino in a penthouse room , then you run out of booze , if your a sailer use the atlantic forget icw an get a good windvane steering system sleep when you can , a small wind turbine seems to work pretty good in places like the bahamas and just don't carry so much water you don't have room for the rum an you be good

Hope your wishes come true in 2024 Tim!! I life on a 38ft steel ketch since july..realising my childhood wishdream 40 years later..suddenly by chance..and took the big step..well prepared..but for me the most worrisome reason I 'hate' living on a boat now is..not having enough money on my bank account anymore (as not everybody appreciates you to life on a boat here and cuts your income) to deal with the unexpected things happening (unexpected leaking teakdeck.."the boat was major maintenance-free for 2 years" nice same age formed owner assured me..stopping of diesel heater in winter by effects storm..not been able to close that thru-hull last summer that hunts you in your dreams etc etc). So..maybe when in your 20's or 30's and/or being very adventurous low on income and budget can be a nice challenge while living the boat life..but having enough steady income for sure makes you sleep much better on your (still) beloved boat is my experience until now..not even got to deal with anchoring, off-gridd electricity needs and water (making) still here in the marina.

I live in Europe and I am very interested in an Ericson 46, what do you think about these boats?
