THIS WAS PUTTING OUR FAMILY AT RISK!! Ep 329

After 48 hours at sea, we drop anchor in a protected bay to rest. Then we drag anchor... www.sailingnan...
There is nothing worse than an anchor that doesn't hold your boat! Whilst we have been living onboard Nandji II for a little while now, we have really just been moving from one marina, do some boat work, onto the next marina. More boat work etc... Now we are in the final stages of preparing to go cruising again, life at anchor is proving to be more difficult than it should be!
Relying on your ground tackle is essential and gives you confidence that when you leave your boat, it is going to be there when you get back. So far with Nandji II, we had dragged anchor 3 times!! This is 3 times too many and it is time to solve this problem.
As Bonita was still recovering from surgery, we decided to get some new crew onboard to help us sail to Indonesia. They arrive and move onboard, welcome to Nandji II!

I never make comments, but The Admiral's new looks is wonderful. Natural is making her smiles so genuine. Good luck fair wind and following seas! Thanks! Captain Doug

[@mickeyh53]

So good to see that whippy back on board..half human those dogs…he’s definitely a popular dog gets heaps of comments..love your channel guys.

[@laurapitre5797]

It would be a good idea to add a shackle and a few links of chain between the anchor and the swivel. This protects the swivel from bending on a hard wind shift.

[@norman4991]

Essential.

[@davidwood4427]

Plenty of examples out there of those anchor swivels breaking because of sideways loading.

[@philgray1023]

I read that recently and it is in my top ten boat jobs for this month.

[@pamelarw58]

Whaat a beautiful place to anchor! Bonita you look SO much happier & healthy!! 💜Tallula is so adorable chatting away! 💜Happy Birthday Yosh now in your element after such incredibly hard yakka!! 💙🥳🍻 🎂 How long will your crew be sailing with you as always helpful with extra hands & great company? Take care everyone & enjoy!!! 🌞🌊🇦🇺

[@jamarie1972]

Heard a ping Water in the bilge Yosh tasted it, lucky it was Salty not Sh*tty. Great video guy’s happy birthday Yosh. All the best to you all.

[@MaMa-st2eg]

The best birthday gift is to wake up with a beautiful family. Yosh, you are very fortunate and so is Bonita and Tallulah as your live is boundless, generous, and real. Glad to see Bonita getting her life back on her terms. We pray for you all often. Good Seas and Fair winds!!!!

[@taumygilbert9279]

Great to see you all as usual! 1. Happiest Birthday to Yosh

[@belindachappell9875]

Aw so much to be grateful for. Happy birthday Yosh 🎉 So happy for you guys and great to meet the new crew. Bonita you look amazing babe and seem so much happier. Marley also seems to have settled straight back in and loving his boat life. As always Talulah stealing the show, so cute hearing her off playing while you’re baking Bonita and being dad’s daughter ‘send it’ 😂 You’re a bunch of legends and I’m so grateful for the fantastic vids you put out. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@kristaready8812]

[@SVTrinityTube]

Ahoy from fellow sailing enthusiasts! We feel your pain about anchor issues we are newbie sailors and have already had our fair share of anchor issues including losing one. Fair winds and smooth seas to all of us!

[@thomasthornton5737]

😃👍👍👍❤ A birthday BBQ on the stern of your boat, a big new anchor, hey Its all starting to come together Josh!!!!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Indeed it is!! YEW!!!

[@taxalterror]

Happy Birthday, Yosh, Bonita you look soo good. That OP was a good move. Atb.

[@larrymayberry2312]

So glad you guys didn't have a sprinkler system on the boat. That many candles would have surely set it off LMAO. Happy birthday Yosh

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Not much space left on that cake.....

[@norman4991]

Wow that's a lot of candles, Captain.

[@greglight3745]

You might check out your new anchor swivel connection. I believe it’s not recommended to attach the swivel jaws to the anchor. Provide a short length of chain between the swivel and and the anchor. Why ? Because under extreme conditions when the anchor is firmly set and the the vessel swings the jaws on the swivel become the weak point ,May break, bend and pop the pin. Check it out ! Be safe

[@greglight3745]

Yes, A Mantus swivel is a goog option.

[@ausi14u]

happy belated birthday Yosh. You're going great. Ausi says, she'll be right mate. Good on ya bloke.

[@aalback1]

Happiest of birthdays Yoshie!!! So glad you had a great one mate....Cheers Fireman Sam

[@justinbrown2093]

You guys , love ya .bloody oath ,proud to be Aussie

[@calmauric8218]

Anchor - bow shackle - swivel - chain. Or, Anchor - shackle - 4 links of chain - swivel - main chain. With our big sarca, option 2 was a winner.

[@donaldbassett8769]

Great to see you have company now put down some miles 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@chantedefelepe]

Happy birthday mate can’t wait too see the dynamics’s with your new crew wishing you all fair winds

[@pmorph]

I don't know what anchor you've currently got-- but it's nightmare not being able to trust it.... I now won't have a boat that does not have an Excel anchor. I survived 60 knots in NZ at anchor and 40 knots in Sydney. Btw, I don't bother with swivels, I just attach it with a shackle, just one less thing to break...
