Boat specs below ⬇️
We try and plan for everything because it is our lives and boat on the line, and in remote places especially, we are constantly monitoring things like daily weather local patterns, what the seabed is like for anchor holding, and do we need to move to a new place for safety and comfort? Sailing and anchoring in strong winds can be extra stressful and when the sun goes down and its still howling, it can be hard to switch off and relax, because we can’t always assume it will be a safe harbor the entire night. The Pacific Ocean has new things to take into account. In addition to watching how much water is under our boat, and asking ourselves “would we still be floating if the wind shifts while at anchor?”, there are 10-20’ tidal changes in Panama that can fool unsuspecting sailors into thinking they’re in enough water…until the weather shifts at night, at low tide and there are coral heads around. We always try to have a plan A, B and C, because there will come a time when Plan A and B fail, and sometimes, we only gotta be lucky, but what if our luck runs out?

“It’s a swell bridal”. Ha Ha. Katie the comedian. Love it. We need to get Katie a mic. Seriously, she has gems to add to the content. Great job guys. Cheers!

[@lotusdolphin]

I’m new to this channel and don’t know how long you have been sailing or doing your cinematography. But that is absolutely outstanding really really enjoyed it. Mother nature was watching after you. Thanks again for a beautiful Vlog. Sending California vibes from LIZ.

[@6800891]

It is said that the best indicator of how well you understand a concept is how clearly you can explain it to a novice. I learned more from that anchoring encounter than any other I've seen.

[@christopherhutchings9621]

Katie needs to do more commentary, she's fabulous and true love y'all 💞

[@cagoodwin90]

I love your introspective on your nerves and emotions. It’s very much relatable to everyone and those who don’t fear or respect Mother Nature are usually punished. You’re doing it and that’s what matters!

[@aulandblunt8432]

The ups and downs of boat life. Thanks for sharing. At the beginning of the video Katie looked like she has had enough. It was reassuring to see a smile later. People refer to living your dream as the easy life but nothing comes easy.

[@DanFerrantelli]

Very nice episode! It's great when you can learn a lesson like accounting for the tide on anchor without having an emergency in the process. I think some nerves create vigilance which adds to the safety margin. It will be interesting to see how you settle in as the Pacific journey progresses. You two are a breath of fresh air to watch!

[@davidnichols147]

Exceptional cinematography, sound and editing Katie. We thoroughly enjoy your channel and are waiting in anticipation for the next episode.

[@garybarichello6286]

Just adding tocomment re glue / epospxy to use on your drawer. As former shipwright joinerman I would use Titebond adhesive exterior. This works excellent in Marine appl 13:36 ications . Keep editing those great vids with your wonderful communication dialogue and smiles. By the way the First Mate is a definite keeper. Smart , quick quips , great sailor and gorgeous as well. Not too many like that around keep uo the great work and enjoy the journey

[@allanjfotos]

It is very underrated still to be able to just sit and be with yourself or one another, time on the water for me is as good as any mediation

[@ScotFarthing]

I have used a way to help with the swell change in the middle of the night at anchor. I have never seen a comment to this affect anywhere. I get the vessel point into the swell that is most comfortable and turn on the auto pilot. As long as the swell has a current with it will keep the boat in the correct direction. Try it what have you got to lose. Well your batteries I guess. Great job guys keep it up.

[@theconquerors]

Another amazing and inspiring episode guys!!

[@johngibson1396]

Good viewing you guys. Your honesty is very refreshing.

[@craigkepchar2619]

I'm glad your learning lesson did not cost you anything except a little anxiety. I will be waiting till next week. Good sailing to you both.

[@jackburns804]

Great content! Gets better and better. And the beauty and form of the first mate does not go unnoticed by this old salt!😊 Well done Mr. Parker. Well done! 👍

[@williamstreet4304]

Katy: I don't know. We'll see. -- I completely understand. Do I like the genoa or main shape? What do I do to make it better? I find it difficult to read a sail especially as the boat is building momentum. Masts that do not rotate are giving me problems as well. The mast interferes with wind over the luff. Luff telltales mounted to close to the mast don't help. I like to trim the genoa based on leach telltales because they show the flow off the sail. Heavy cruising boats don't trim like light, planing racing boats. I race on a FT 10M and offshore sail on heavy boats like a Oyster 485.

[@johnbosworth777]

Can't believe I am all caught up after binge watching your channel. Looking forward to future episodes on Boundless.

[@Daveincc]

It’s great to see you two getting into the rhythm of cruising again. There’s always going to be issues and you two took it in stride.m

[@uncommon_scents]

Very good episode Parker. I am enjoying your channel. 👍

[@sfs122450]

Good job, Parker. More later

[@arthurme1911]

Sometimes in life you’re not happy with the way things are. Going then change them start you own adventure

[@user-pe6hh4rp6c]

Y’all are doing really good❤

[@kendrickhogan5385]

How is it Katy looks like a movie star 100% of the time? I enjoy watching your content, Parker & Katy.

[@glenncertain8473]

Love watching you guys!

[@loreligavroy9072]

Great job! Hea, we learn something new every day. This one made you more a wear, good eyes blessing ..

[@johnbeck2797]

That's an interesting snubber arrangement. To me it doesn't put enough cushion betwen the anchor and the winch, but I could be wrong. Best wishes to you guys! Thanks for sharing your experiences and emotions..

[@fxpthl]

Greetings kids, new subscriber from So. Calif. living vicariously through you! Your boat is beautiful as is your lovely wife!

[@nutsandbolts432]

Might I suggest camera mounts rigged semi permanently around different areas of the boat. That way you know your shot is lined up just how you want it, you can quickly change camera locations, and both hands can be free to tackle tasks like setting the anchor. Wireless mics like Rode or DJI would also be a great addition. Otherwise, great job!

[@christopherhutchings9621]

Hell Parker, the nervous Nelly was u ? Katie handled it like a pro 👍

[@radicalradiotech4944]

OH please tell me what a swell bridle is ? .. do you know of the Pardeys? and their advice on heavy weather systems??

[@brentclarke1841]

you should put a loop in the dingy line for Katie to hang on 👍⛵👍 just a thought

[@radicalradiotech4944]

How many anchors do you have? and bungies??

[@ti.mythril]

Great vlog! Pickup a bottle of titebond pro wood glue. Epoxy is good. Wood glue is better, waterproof outside, water cleanup is easy, seam is near invisible. Happy sailing!

[@Bruin4Life]

Parker I understand your concern over the anchoring situation, but sometimes it is better to be lucky. Does your radar pick up underwater obstructions? If you had that option, I’m sure that would relieve that stress from you and Katiie.

[@robertgold2643]

🙏

[@juliazentner681]

I just adore how much you love her! And even more how f#$@*ing bad ass she is.. you both are F#$@*ing awesome.. best channel showing real poop happens! Thank you both!

[@wcgolfpro]

Two small handheld radios from Amazon would be great communication tools when your on the bow and Katy in the cockpit minimal cost . Great videos guys appreciate you !

[@paullascelles8362]

I was thinking the same thing. You can get wireless headsets that work well. Keeps the communication process basically hands free.

[@makechips]

@@paullascelles8362After watching them anchor, I went through the comments to see if someone else was going to recommend wireless headsets. I’ll second this.👍🏻

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Google fed me your channel today. Thanks.

[@janaferreira8882]

❤

[@cliffol4529]

👍

[@radicalradiotech4944]

I mean a snubber

[@garybarichello6286]

Just a note, more use of Life jackets recomended, specialy when leaving boat in seas for islands. 19:56

[@kurtweber7361]

Aren't there other serious dangers in this area? In 2023 there were 2 attacks on yachts near Isla del Rey. Are you prepared for such dangers and are you aware of them?

[@daner.d]

maybe you could make a clear bottom 5 gallon that you can put in the water over the side of the dingy so you can scan your surroundings to make sure it safe or take a swim. that would be awful if something bad happened to boundless, my god I don't even want to think about it. but the more you learn, right...... ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

[@tangoreal9098]

I will leave the like as long as you don’t take your shirt off again. lol

[@DanFerrantelli]

Your comment was probably meant to be funny but came across as lame. You should consider deleting or revising it. They live on a sailboat so of course clothes are kept to a minimum and the last thing they need is to be made to feel self conscious about it. They are a gorgeous couple.
