    Thanks for watching this episode! We love the Chesapeake Bay and hopefully, this video does justice to the cruising grounds here. ...and sorry for that cliffhanger 😮 at 27minutes long, I figured we'll go into more details in another video.

    Missed you guys! It's been quite awhile since your last vlog. Thank you for catching us all up....on "Where in the world are the Foster's?" Dragging anchor simply s#@cks. Why go through the stress of potential or real keel damage? ALWAYS set an ANCHOR WATCH app. There are multiple ones for your cell phones and I am guessing your Nav MFD probably has one also. I prefer my cell phone as it draws less juice from the house bank then the MFD even with the display turned off. Fair winds! Sailing Ruby Rose has an episode in which they went ashore for dinner and drinks in Thailand only to dinghy back to their brand new $1M dollar catamaran to find it missing. In a nutshelll, the tide rose, the wind shifted and they had insufficient scope so their boat dragged away into deep water. Luckily they found it several miles from where they anchored unharmed.
