Cruising the Canary Islands, a sailing couple relocates their boat from a rolly anchorage in Alfie to a more protected bay near a cement factory to prepare for an incoming weather system forecast to bring 40-knot winds and 2.5-meter seas.▶ 6:52 The crew, Nike and Flo, perform a short 1.8-mile coastal hop to reach the new anchorage, where they deploy their anchor in five meters of water with a 5:1 scope.▶ 10:59 To maintain proficiency and safety, the pair rotates traditional roles during the maneuver, with the partner typically at the helm taking over the anchor windlass and the captain managing the boat’s position and engine.▶ 9:06 The crew emphasizes the importance of both partners being capable of handling all boat operations independently, particularly when cruising as a couple.▶ 16:13 They note that while their current vessel handles 40-knot gusts at anchor well, they prioritize finding shelter behind breakwaters to mitigate swell and wind exposure during heavy weather.▶ 13:30
