The crew of Happy Ours takes the boat out for the first time since getting the boat back after the Hurricane Ian repairs. On this weekend trip, we travel to Lovers key in Fort Myers thru the Gulf of Mexico and New Pass to drop anchor for the night. We have boat trouble and run into shallow water in the inlet, but hope to make it for a great weekend visiting Dog Beach Island.
This is part 1 of 2. The next episode we visit Dog Beach, so like and subscribe so you don’t miss out on the fun!

Here is something to consider. When I moved to south Florida, and kept my boat in Miami, I had it hauled and bottom painted, as soon as I got there with it. It was a Wellcraft St. Tropez 32 with twin 454 Crusaders. Out of the yard, I could get it up to 32 knots quickly and easily, but we putted around like you guys, mostly. About four months later, we take it out, and I can not get the thing up on plane. Like you, I think something is wrong with my engines. I get back and tell my harbormaster what happened, and he says, "When's the last time you had the bottom cleaned?" I was like, you know when I hauled it our four months ago. He says, "You haven't been cleaning the bottom? This is south Florida. You have to continually clean the bottom, even with fresh bottom paint." I didn't believe him, but I hired a diver to come clean the bottom of my boat. After he was done, I took it out and it jumped up to 32 knots again. After that, I just sucked it up and paid the diver to come clean it once a month. That may not be your problem, but its one thing to consider. Enjoyed your video!

You are the winner! You’ll see that in an upcoming video. I’m made myself a hookah dive kit to take care of it myself.

Do you ever use a transom anchor along with a bow anchor to help with sway? Love your channel 👍

We only used stern anchor when trying to keep the stern to the beach. Did that often on the Hudson River when we rafted up with other boats at Croton. You may have seen those videos.

Anchored there? I saw they removed all the mooring balls by mantanzas and moved them to pink shell side. Can you anchor in the old mooring field? We’re deciding on a place to go this weekend.
@sailingoblio8237
@sailingoblio8237 Жыл бұрын
You can anchor down by Pink Shell. The mooring field on that side is available without amenities. I'm actually tied at what's left of the dock here at Bonita Bill's marina. I followed your blog when you were going south as I needed to move my sailboat to Florida from New York city.

Was just a cold start. It’s actually running good now. Dumped a bottle of redline in it which makes it smoke a little.

7 to 1 scope is standard but usually you can get away with 5:1 in light seas. 10 feet of water= 50 feet of anchor rode which is about what we had.
