After watching you anchor, I remembered that we used to have an Allison (also my name) vs a Windlass. She quit in Forward Harbour and demanded a night at Blind Channel 😂 I have seen your boat in our travels, next time will say hello as we seem to share a backyard!

Hahaha Allison vs windlass would be a very good skit! I almost quit after arriving in Forward Harbour after Blind! Hauled the anchor up from the deep depths twice that day and one was at 5am! Yes please do! Hope to share an Anchorage together soon, cheers!

If you're able to run the stern line up around a tree and then back to the boat, you only need to go up there once. You can just untie one end and pull it back while on the boat. ;) We made it only as far North as Pendrell Sound, so almost there, but not quite. Guess we'll have to head up there someday. We're sitting here at the dock in Hawaii, but I do miss the PNW and B.C. Beautiful video!!

@Allison & James Again, great job with this video - I'm going to have to check out your other videos!! Yes, we're from Seattle. We bought our boat in Pender Harbor after the previous owners circumnavigated. We sailed down to Mexico and Central America, and then over to Hawaii. We're heading to French Polynesia next. We want to take the boat around the world for its second time.

We anchored the same way you guys did in all the Inlets (south of Powell River) we explored in our Catalina 30. 1) always read up on it first 2) surveyed the anchor area using a Hummingbird 535 fish finder 3) always used a stern line 4) wrapped the stern line around a metal anchor ring when provided 5) wrapped the stern line around a smooth tree trunk (Arbutus tree) , we had a 600 foot stern line, an additional 400 foot stern line, had one Danforth anchor with 220 foot rope and 40 foot 5/16 chain, had a spare CQR anchor with 30 foot 5/16 chain and 200 feet rope. I cannot add anything to what you guys are doing, you got what it takes !!

Question about anchoring in that first cove- I tried to anchor there and saw all the 'private bay' buoys and wasn't able to find a good protected spot. We ended up not being able to make it to the end because we couldn't get a good spot to start from. Where in that cove did you manage to find good holding, or was it really just that calm that you were comfortable with the less than ideal holding?
@AllisonandJamesSailing
@AllisonandJamesSailing Жыл бұрын
Yeah those moorings almost dissuaded us from anchoring there. We anchored pretty far into the cove to get into shallow enough water, pretty well dropped the hook as close to the dock in just under 30’ (at high tide) and pulled right back to the north side with a stern tie, the rock goes straight down so you can tuck in pretty close (there are some older ropes still slung around some of the bigger trees that have been used to tie off to before). Holding was decent, had 5:1 out but it was pretty settled while we were there. Sorry to hear that you didn’t make it up mate!

@@AllisonandJamesSailing I lived in Inuvik NWT for a few months. I was always scared of bears, but i only ever saw black bears, a mamma and cubs on the road when driving and once a grizzly in the far distance walking down on a very steep bank. I could barely make it out, even after it was pointed out to me, but the locals spotted it instantly. I sensed even they were scared, and we all stood watching it for ages. great experiences (from a distance! haha!

We're often nervous about bears, mostly brown ones, and did have an encounter this past Summer that was wayyy to close for comfort. Scary. If we do end up going further afield up North for extended periods we'll be looking into obtaining a gun license..

@@AllisonandJamesSailing I was studying at uni in belfast and won a shcolarship which I used to travel to Inuvik. I was interested in learning about indigenous peoples art work, their paintings, carvings,, jewellery, clothing, beliefs, and of course getting to know them and exchanging our cultures and stories. I volunteered at the Great Northern Arts Festival (gnaf) in Inuvik in summer, and that was a great way to help out and see the beautiful art and meet people. ....I was with my son (age 7 at the time). He loved it and still remembers it. Its worth going to Tuktuoyuktuk as well . We flew in a small plane from Inuvik. It was so beautiful, flying just 300 ft above the Mc Kenzie delta, seeing wildlife, and the pingo's. Beautiful places, beautiful people. Wonderful memories. It forever changed me. It became part of me, and still is. And I am so grateful 🙂

I cringe every time that I watch you weigh anchor as you pull the chain against the gunnel. I know that it's unavoidable, but couldn't a fitting be put in place to take the brunt of the wear and tear of the chain instead of the edge hull? Maybe there'e already something in place that I haven't noticed?
