@@TimBatSea Of course as soon as I posted that I re-called something to tell you! There is an island off the north Devon coast, Lundy Island, about the only sheltered anchorage along that coast. In really bad gales/storms you get the wind funneling around both ends of the island and sort of meeting in the middle. You can end up with your bow facing out to sea and your stern in towards the island. And you need to tuck right in under the island to be comfortable. It gets to be a bit buttock clenching at low water seeing how close you are to some rocks! But for someone else coming into the anchorage it can seem very puzzling to see you laying at anchor as you are. Keep up the good work.

For those like myself who didn;t know anything this is a good one - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9WdZsWe173RY58.html Seeing the size of some of the vessels passing thru the canal a quick question, do the pilots try to have the tide against them when coming up to the railway bridge? I know from my own experience how buttock clenching it can be trying to go astern with the tide behind you when a bridge is a bit slow in lifting.Or as happened to me once going in on a loaded dredger on a good spring flood tide. When a yachtsman decided to poke into the bridge hole after it had lifted for me from the other side. I was about a ship's length off as he appeared!!!! I also know who a Selectman is too now.

@@rickymherbert2899 Thank you again Ricky. That usually isn't a problem for us. We are controlled traffic, meaning we can't just enter the canal when we want. We need to call in 24 hours before and get a transit number before entering the canal from the east or buzzard's bay from the west. Then the controllers won't let us in the canal if there will be a train requiring the railroad bridge to be lowered. As far as the tide goes, we usually don't want to be in the canal with anything other than slack or fair tide. An opposing spring tide would be more than we could manage even with our assist boat.

Thanks for the video! I’m one of the “other type of Captains,” though I’m fortunate enough to be working in the Express Air Cargo industry nowadays. I joke with my sailing buddies that I’m gong to get my Six Pack Captain’s license one day and then I’ll wear 8 stripes around the club. 😂 Anyways, I used to fly the CRJ, which has smaller overheads. My advice would be to have a soft sided padded laptop case, and a soft camera case. If you can’t bring the carryon in the cabin, then camera case can be carried on as your “personal item” (should fit under the seat if not in the overhead bin.) Put the laptop case in the middle of your carry on with your clothing on all sides for extra padding. Roll the clothing on the top and bottom (vertically as in handle and wheels ends) for extra protection. Always check your ticket, but if your camera case fits on an ERJ-135 or ERJ-145 (aka Jungle Jet or the Rain Forest Rocket), then it’ll fit on any of the “Regional Jets.” The EMB-170 series of Jungle Jets are a completely different animal from their baby brother and can easily be confused with a baby Airbus. Should have much less problems on those. Google Purdy Neat Stuff bags if you want a measure of extra protection on your carryons. Get the plastic framed one. The metal one weighs a ton!It’s what many aircrew members carry, especially on the smaller RJs because we too had to put our carryons in the aft luggage compartment. Ours usually ended up on the bottom of the pile. Hope that helps!

As a recreational sailor I learned the right and wrong side of a cleat when I was ... around 8yo. The 3 years prior I just didn´t understand it. Then my father (who also was the youth trainer at my sailing club) had the idea to let me hold a boat by hand with the use of a cleat - but only going under 1 horn. That was the day it clicked for me. No cleat - hard but doable wrong horn - seems easy, slips off and jerks me into the water right horn - easy. Cleat does it´s magic (it was a 5m/15ft open sailing boat in medium wind on a sunny day, totally appropriate for a kid) Oh, and I really appreciate your videos, not only because they serve as a reminder to a lot of things I should know, but even more so because they provide a change in perspective for me. Hearing your remarks about the small boat users combined with the view from your bridge certainly makes me question some of the decisions I made in the past when encountering big ships... And you have a wonderful way of calling a fool a foll without calling him a fool

Hey Tim, I love the vids! I am a pro video guy and I travel a lot. Yeah, that happens every day. I am almost 1mill miles on AA. I typically travel with $75-150k in pro cinema cam gear. In the old days, I used to cary on the expensive stuff but too many times it won't fit in the cabin of small aircraft. So now, I check it all. It's all double or quadruple TSA locked and in Pelican or SKB cases all foamed up with 2" of foam in every direction. And sometimes we hide trackers in there, as simple as a "Tile" JIK, it goes missing. But, I always take cell phone pix of the cases at check in, just in case the rare issue happens to prove it was there and to show bag reps what they look like. These days Lithium batteries are the main issue and cannot be checked, so my cary on is mostly Professional, fused, monitored Lithium batteries. So, I can't even take a camera because I am required to cary on the batteries. But a tip here, if you tell the cabin crew you have a bunch of lithium batteries in your bag they WILL find a spot for it in the cabin! ;) Keep up the good work! - Rich

As we were always taught.. common sense is not always common... Here in Australia, the rule of thumb for chain length on an anchor is a minimum of 10 mtr or the length of your boat in chain at the end of the anchor line where it joins the anchor. I always teach others when anchoring to go approx 50-80 ft past the anchor spot drop the anchor and pay out chain and line slowly and back towards the spot you want to be stationary and then stop and see how the boat settles. People do not take care of other peoples items in airports or postage items or anything anymore.. it is just a new creature of society.. but I'm sure they would bitch like hell if it was their items that got broke... Another great video. Cheers.

I've been a recreational boater (small center console) for decades, primarily in the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes. My dad taught me the basics, and I tried to learn whatever I could through observing others more expert than myself, and by reading Chapman Piloting Seamanship and Boat Handling. And of course by making my own mistakes. A friend of the family invited me and my dad to spend a night shift on the tug he worked as a deckhand in Baltimore Harbor. I remember the sights and sounds and smells to this day; I'd love to do that again. Unfortunately, my family is now in land-locked Colorado, so I take what I can get in terms of boating (we usually head to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan when able). I have definitely subscribed, and I look forward to watching your past and present videos. Thank you for putting in the time to make such excellent videos.

In your discussion on anchoring I was hoping you would throw out the term "catenary" and how that applies to scope and why having a longer chain improves ones ability to get the anchor to set more reliably.

Great presentation, everything you do is on a much bigger scale than I'm familiar with.

Thank you for watching. Catenary is a term I use mostly when talking about towing and not anchoring. For your anchor rode to have a true catenary, your anchor would need to be out of water. Catenary being the lower half of a sign wave. I had hoped that I described the advantage of having chain help to pull on the anchor horizontally well enough, but perhaps even with my story of replacing the short chain with a longer one on my own boat, I was still not clear.

Another great video with a lot of good, basic information for novices and pros alike. One thing I would add to your anchoring demo is that it's always good to know what's on the bottom before dropping anchor. If a recreational anchorage is indicated on your chart, then you can probably assume the bottom is good for anchoring. But, say, if you're out on a recreational boat and want to anchor in an area that isn't designated as such, it's always good to know what's on the bottom - Is it sandy (good), or is it rocky (maybe not so good). Also, down here in Florida we have a lot of shallow reefs (corals, etc.) and vast areas of turtle grass. It's never good to drop your anchor in these environmentally sensitive areas, plus it could result in some hefty fines. If you're new to an area, I've found it's always a good idea to check with the locals before heading out. Most likely they'll know the good spots for recreational boaters to anchor-up. Once again, thanks for all of your amazing videos and keep up the good work. Cheers.

Have had a boat on a inland lake in Dallas area for over 15 years and its amazing to see how people "anchor" and then ten other boats will tie to it and then in the afternoon the wind comes up. They don't have any chain rode and its 100% rope. Then let out just enough scope out that it touches bottom 1:1 Then they wonder why it doesn't work. 😁😁 Its amazing if you chat with them on some proper techniquies for anchoring and they actually listen how much better it works the next time! As for your carry on issue, I carry a large amount of photo gear as well with me well in to the 5 digits worth in one roller bag. On commuter planes your more or less at the mercy of doing the gate checks, however you can ask to speak with the captain as well and see if they have any crew space left and you can shove your bag into the closet. I have had to do that once on a MD80 flight when all the space was taken, they wanted to "check" the bag. I asked to speak with them and let them know the value of the gear and they did put it into the crew closet. I also have full commercial insurance on the equipment, so if something does happen at least I am not out much more than the deductible. I would have also spoke with the flight attendant / captain as soon as you saw that happened to bring to their attention as well and then file a claim with the airline as you would also have the crew knowing what happened. Just a thought, although (knock on wood) I haven't had that happen yet.

Speaking of not using a half hitch to lock a line around a cleat, we were repositioning a target barge prior to departing for sea. I specifically told the deckhand not to lock the line. Our company rarely manoeuvred barges. Thus, the caution to the deckhand. This was my first time also. But, I remembered reading about not locking lines subject to heavy loads. The deckhand locked the line. The barge was off the wall and we had to quickly untie off the hip and go to the wire. We were in a small harbor. When a load was put on the line, it locked. The deckhand was struggling to release it. There was wind. We were in clutch. I'm thinking, can we run another line and cut the locked line? He finally released the line. I verbally reamed the deckhand a new hawsepipe.

You would think that common sense would dictate that for the anchor to grab in the correct direction (relative to the boat), the boat would have to be backing down just a bit. But we all know how common that stuff is, it seems. I remember my father had a whole process in dropping anchor, and part of it was allowing the engine to idle for a short period while he observed what the anchor was doing and how the boat was laying. If he figured all was well, he'd shut down the engine and spend about a half hour with a beer just watching our alignment with shore points. Stuff I never really thought about until watching your video!

Regarding the start to a cleat hitch, I describe it as creating the letter "V" with the cleat and dock line. If you go on the inside, you aren't creating a V. If you go on the outside, the correct way, you are creating a "V"

Thanks for another informative vlog, coming from the construction industry and crane work we also had to take windage into consideration. I was driving a tower crane building precast walls & floors 4 story apartment blocks. The floor sections were OK only 1ft high 10ft long of windage. But the walls were sails and we would have a guys with tag lines tied fore and aft to keep em heading into wind. That worked great but then we had to land them on line, well I lernt to the end two first and follow on land the rest down wind of them it worked great and we continued to earn bonus. Another trick I learnt this time from a River Thames crew, while replacing a broken generator belt tied to a floating jetty. The tug needed us to move up, this was into tide my crew member took the stern line and I the bow, but we a hell of a job getting headway and the boat just pulled hard away from us. The tug man to mt crew to slacken off, now I was horrified thinking I was going swimming, but just with my pressure on the line she came back in and nosed up the jetty no bother. Airline damage: Take photos of all your gear that's carry on luggage, together with your boarding pass. This will prove the damage is recent and caused by the airline. Film any ground crew handling luggage roughly that you may see from the aircraft or waiting lounge. Check your belongings on collection and report defects to the agent before clearing the airport. If you don't get satisfaction put the photos and any filming on KZfaq.

When that's accomplished I'll try for a boat LOL!! As far as the airline question, I work for United Airlines and when it comes to your computer or camera equipment on a commuter jet which are the feeder carriers for the major airlines, with limited baggage space. I would recommend you get yourself a book bag with a compartment for a laptop or even a sleeve for your computer and carry it onto the plane with you. On those small planes you are allowed to have a small bag, as long as it can be stowed under the seat in front of you. Unfortunately it's just the nature of the beast when it comes to how your bags are handled. Thanks again for the video, stay safe out there on those waters!!

Thanks Tim. Good refresher for me on a lot of that info. Never really was good at anchoring. Never did it much. The lead you use on the cleat is done for two reasons, you did not mention. The lead from the front horn may be such that it either binds onto the turns that secure the line to the cleat, or that lead can also pull the turns off. Also, it does not apply to a cleat, but when using bits, with a whole lot of force, I was told it could bend the bits. Was always sceptical about the last one, you'd really need a bunch of force, but I remember the information. Stay safe.

Nice refresher... not that I have a boat, but... who knows? A canal boat might make a great live-aboard. As to your computer, it's best to get the name of the offending person, if possible. Then report the mishandling to the gate person if arriving, or a flight attendant if departing. They'll set you up with their procedure, usually a claim form. Of course, photos of before and after and any witness names will help, too. Chances are, after a month or two, they'll offer you something, but last I checked it was based on the >weight< of the item, at $x/pound. You can sometimes work around that for a low-weight high-value item such as a computer. The fact that it still works is good for you, but bad for the claim. Cosmetic damage is not worth much. If you want to put in a claim, don't delay. You can probably do it on line, but there's a time limit. Bad attitude on the part of that handler. I think I'd have "corrected" him on the spot, perhaps with the help of his supervisor.

I don’t work for that company of speak of but I do work for a different company and after 14 years flying I am on my third roller bag and this one looks “salty” I am told. First for you make sure your electronics are in bag that is a “personal item”. Laptop bags and backpacks fit this description and may be carried in the cabin. Secondly those electronic items contain lithium batteries which can’t be placed in the cargo due to the fire risk. If anyone tells you to planeside check the bag remind them it has lithium batteries and you can’t check it. On my end I was in uniform and required to check my roller back (fine with me) I watched the person loaded it throw it off the jetway. I walked over and explained “hey, that’s my home for most of the month - I don’t come to your home and throw your dresser around please be nicer to my bag.” I am sure 8 hours later he threw a bag again, but I felt better. Cliff notes, carry a laptop bag or backpack for electronics and don’t let anything with lithium batteries go in the cargo compartments.

For a recreational vessel the average anchor scope is 3 to 5 times water depth so if you want to be over a spot then power up past your spot until you are around 4 times water depth and drop while holding position. Lower the anchor slowly to prevent fouling and settle back to the spot. If you want to adjust port to starboard you can tie to a midship cleat opposite the direction you want to go or if somewhat skilled you can add a section of line to make a bridle between the anchor rhode and a midship cleat.

Thank you for watching Bryan. If I may, I'd like to offer a word of caution. Don't be married to 3 or 5 to 1. If it works where you are and you don't go anywhere else, then that is great. But you may have to alter the equation to meet the demands of the area or situation you may go to next. For example, 3 or 5 to one will be fine in an area with lite wind and not much tide. But if you did that in a place that had say 12' of tide, and you water depth was 10', and you out out 5 to 1, you would have 50' out. A solid 5 to 1. But if the tide rose, now having 22' to 50' of rode, you would now have just over a scope of 2 to 1. Just be flexible us what I'm trying to say. Be safe and thank you for participating in the group.

@@TimBatSea of course, many variables will go into it from the sizing of anchor and chain to the conditions. I've done a good amount of anchoring to fish wrecks or rock piles and accuracy counts in doing that, if you're off by 30 feet you might miss it so I've had lots of practice. We will even use two anchors with a wide set to allow us to move the boat for perfect positioning and the ability to make small adjustments.

On smaller (sub 35ft) boats, I pay the anchor out by hand until I feel it touch bottom, then give it about 6ft of line. Then I wait for the boat to start falling back with tide or wind, and as it does so, I pay out 3-5 x depth of line (depending on weather etc). I'm just letting the anchor, chain and line all pay out in the direction the load will come on. Once that's done, secure the line and wait for the anchor to set, which you'll feel as the boat comes into wind or tide. Easy and works every time.

Just a thought that might help on the subject of anchoring when there are no other boats or buoys around to use as a guide to how you'll lay. I will take the time to come dead in the water and start a drift. Once I establish the direction of the drift (via gps, since compass won't be pointing in the direction of the drift) I then run back to where I want to anchor on the reciprocal heading. Gets me pretty close. I run 2 headboats. One always faces the wind and the other likes to align into the current until the wind gets strong enough to start affecting things. After a while, you get good at predicting what it will do. Best part of my job is I get to practice anchoring many times a day. No better teacher than experience. Love the channel. Keep it up. I loved the cape cod canal video. My neck of the woods. Used to fill in on a tug out of New Bedford. Stay safe.
