The crew of the Escapade, a Rockner MK2, upgrades their ground tackle by installing a stainless steel Rockner MK2 anchor at Hammock Beach Marina.0:26 They replace an older model to address anchoring frustrations, specifically chain piling and tangling in the locker, which previously required manual intervention at the bow.1:27 During the installation, the owners discover that the mounting bolts for the previous anchor had loosened significantly over two years, prompting them to use a stronger thread-locking compound.1:50 After cleaning the anchor locker and completing maintenance, the crew departs the marina to motor south along the ICW toward New Smyrna Beach.16:03 They navigate the route by following a lead vessel near Ponce Inlet to avoid shallow water, opting for the west side of the islands based on local advice.21:11 The transit includes timing bridge openings and managing engine-related instrument issues.19:50 The crew successfully deploys the new anchor at their destination, noting its performance in the local current.25:23
