Nearly CRUSHED! - Chapmans Pool Anchorage (2023)

[@Westendgirlsailing]

Great video! One tip that may help when anchoring - we use a simple golf range finder. When we come into an anchorage and get ready to drop the hook, I check the range to each of the boats around us to ensure we’re not too close. I also check the range to a fixed point and re-check periodically to make sure we’re not dragging. Hope this helps.

[@caromarco6315]

We couldn’t believe Hank was sleeping under that blanket! Such gorgeous scenery and so beautifully put together for us all to watch! Thank you!

[@islandman9619]

Commenting to help the channel. Love your adventures and being a huge dog lover, Hank is such an awesome soul! My boat is currently sitting in Mexico, but man do you inspire someone like to me to sail the English coast. You should get some kind of award for what you do! Cheers guys!

[@CadohaAdventures]

Ha ha, that's very kind of you to say but truth be told, when the weather is on-side, this place sells itself, it's beautiful and we intend to capture and share as much of it as we can, here and of course on our anchorage guide here: www.cadoha.com/britishanchorages Thanks for taking the time to stop by and say hi, we really appreciate it ☺️ 👌🏼

Chapmans to Poole in a strong NE. I'd turn West and reach down to Weymouth then jump on the train back to Poole! Great filming btw. You really show the UK coastline at its best.

[@phedrob3735]

I really think it's about time for some legislation to be introduced regarding lobster pots and other similar markers. A flagpole with a high Viz flag for the day and a. Light at night. A little black plastic ball is not helpful for avoiding a rope around your prop if you have to motor. Hank has such an amazing personality. The first dof I've seen that didn't jump in the air as soon as the word "Walkies" was mentioned. Hope your procedure went well.

[@CadohaAdventures]

I really like the idea of some kind of flashing purple LED light perhaps, if a certain distance away from the shore? Would make life soooo much easier and I doubt it'd even be that expensive to do? The only issue I think may pot fisherman would have is the potential for easier poaching there catches?

[@terreyhills]

Around here we get them dumped in the middle of the channels, most of which are very very narrow - those who drop them are just so thoughtless - is has become relatively common to see the makers washed up on the beaches - where ropes have been cut by hand or props so god only knows what is now lying abandoned on the sea floor….

[@phedrob3735]

@@terreyhills Actually,, I know of someone with a power boat whose props have been fouled twice by badly marked pots/nets. He's so annoyed about it that now if he comes across something like a tiny black plastic ball used as a marker, he makes a point of stopping and cutting the lines. Not sure I agree with this but it does highlight the point that something needs to be done to keep everyone happy, be it boaters or fishermen.

[@sailingcacique6343]

hope you're op went well fair winds

[@tomriley5790]

@@phedrob3735 that's really out of order. If he's had his props fouled then its as much his fault for not avoiding them as the fisherman's pot fishing has been around for decades, I don't object to having better markers but cutting the line and leaving the pots on the bottom is a terrible idea. In Iceland they have AIS markers on their fishfarms something similar for pots should do the job.

Hey we recognise that duck pond. We were at Worth Matravers a couple of weeks ago the Tea shop was closed but we had a Pastie and Cider at the Pub up the road. We walked to the Royal Marine memorial overlooking the Chapmans Pool. Great spot.

You Three are realy finding your own KZbin vibe. Its wonderfull to watch you getting comfortable with your self chosen role of coastal ambassadors of the Brittish isles. Well done!

[@ratusbagus]

Funny you should mention your foreboding feeling. I had my left hand crushed in a yacht's anchor chain there on June 11 last year. The wind (and tidal flood) were south south westerly and so really choppy conditions. The bow roller had already been ripped off by the anchor embedded in an isolated uncharted rock and the chain sawed backwards through the lockercover, when guess who tried to get it up in that chop by hand? I did free it but at a great cost. A lift to swannage lifeboat station, a year on, four plastic surgeries and gazillions of physioterrorist sessions later and my hand has been screwed back together and has about 70% functionality and 40% strength. On the road to recovery I've sailed single handed 🙃with various crews pretty much every week. So my input to your anchorage resource is..... don't venture into chapmans pool especially on a flood, in any kind southeasterly (or southerly)......and don't ever expect to meet me in there.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Jeeeez that sounds awful! I think there are a lot more rocks on the ground than most people realise. We thought we were bedded into sand until we went to retrieve the anchor the next morning and sae it sat in a pile of small rocks!

[@ratusbagus]

@@CadohaAdventures I think it's vegetation, sand and well the clue is all around you.....chunks of rock.

If you ever find yourself in Lanzarote, go to a place called Famara and head along the beach to the cliff face. There you can dig into the broken rocks of the cliff and pull out shells that were pushed up from the sea bed whenever the island was formed. I found it fascinating to be the first human to ever hold the shells that I found. Great video … as always👍

A really great insight to a place I should have, but never visited. As a type 2 diabetic, scones are off the menu but back in the, like them with cream but not jam. My favourite scones are with currents and raisins and unsalted butter. Last time I was in Cornwall, I couldn't find a tea shop that served fruit scones or Curnish Pasties! Haven't been back since.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Fruit scones with white flour are THE ONES! Clearly the worst for you, but that’s exactly why they taste the best! 😋

In the sense it wasn't too bad, we took the last of the eb tide to head out of Chapmans pool and carry us out and round to a point where we felt well away from the race, then with some wind and slack water we actually sailed round St Albans head fairly quickly and so it wasn't too much of a stress in the end 🙏🏻☺
