I think this is a cool trip. I just found this article while looking for some diving enthusiasts. But I think your experience is great. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would also like to try a similar trip
Fair winds, following seas, sail fast and take chances, sorry i will miss you, but i will hopefully catch up later more westerly in the world. Lots of love and enjoy this beautiful
Ahhhh…..Jaime….nice work…I can feel it! It’s time. Love following you and your (pl) huge adventure. Your pics really make it and express what words cannot. I’m assuming you have some other kind of backup anchor? Can’t recall and maybe a light easy stern anchor?
We are so ready. And here we are underway with Bora Bora a few miles off the starboard beam and THE SUN IS OUT!!!!
We do have a few other anchors. We have a Fortress FX-55 folded up (also living in the port bow locker). And, we have a French, FOB HP as well (Danforth style, original to the boat).
How many anchors should you have? People go overboard with spare anchors I think (pun intended). If you lose your main anchor something bad happened and you probably lost a lot of chain as well. Either of those backup anchors should suffice until we could source a proper replacement for the main anchor.
