Anchoring in the Caribbean requires selecting leeward bays to ensure protection from swell and consistent wind direction.4:06 A 5-meter sandy bottom provides ideal holding, while leeward positioning prevents the boat from rolling or yawing.3:05 When choosing an anchorage, prioritize areas where the wind flows across the island to maintain a dry, comfortable deck environment.5:42
For security, a dedicated GPS alarm—such as the Furuno unit used on the steel-hulled *Regina*—is more reliable than mobile applications, which consume excessive battery power.9:57 The alarm should be set based on the boat's current position while at anchor with the chain tensioned, rather than the drop point, to account for swinging.11:37 Modern anchors like the Vulcan, Rocna, or Mantus offer superior setting performance compared to older designs like the CQR or Bruce.14:38 Proper anchoring technique includes using two snubbers to relieve load from the windlass.16:09 Daily rain in the Caribbean helps keep the hull and rigging clean, while the lack of barnacle growth simplifies maintenance compared to European waters.12:49
