00:00 Intro
00:52 Setup- putting the tender alongside, getting the lines ready - double sheet-bends, never bowline-on-bowline, then flaking the lines.
02:33 Approach-check your depth, find out about any cross currents;
03:16 Drop- put out as much chain as possible;
05:05 Securing- feed the line out to the person securing to shore, drop some more anchor chain if needed;
06:46 Final adjustments- make sure you are happy with the depth, make sure there is some tension in the system;
Key takeaways:
1. Have your shoreline ready;
2. Spring lines form an X if you are on a cat;
3. Snub your anchor to take the load off the windlass.
4. Don't tighten up the anchor chain with your windlass!
5. Visit Cumberland Bay in Saint Vincent. It's Beautiful.
