What this video covers
The crew of the 38-ft sailboat Calypso anchors near No Name Harbor at the tip of Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida.▶ 2:58 They avoid anchoring inside the harbour itself due to a past incident where a vessel using a stern anchor in a crowded anchorage caused a collision during a night of high winds.▶ 3:18 The crew emphasises that stern anchors are inappropriate in crowded anchorages because they prevent a boat from swinging with the tide and wind, creating a hazard for neighbouring vessels.▶ 5:07 After spending time at a local sandbar and viewing the historic structures of Stiltsville, the crew moves the boat 12 miles south to a more remote anchorage on the east side of Biscayne Bay.▶ 8:10 They also utilise an inflatable dock for water activities and discuss the need for an electric pump to expedite its inflation.▶ 9:15 Future plans include a night passage on the ICW with a 64-ft mast height.▶ 11:08
