The crew of the Lazy Gecko experienced an anchor chain wrap while swinging at anchor overnight.2:01 To clear the obstruction without damaging the windlass, the crew transferred the load to a bridle and used the boat's engines and thrusters to maneuver the vessel in a circle until the chain came free.3:17 The crew notes that if the chain had remained fouled, the last resort would have been to release the anchor and chain entirely.2:24 During a subsequent seven-hour motor to the Dry Tortugas, the crew utilized AIS to monitor the proximity and bearing of a nearby tourist ship, the Yankee Freedom 3.5:49 Upon arrival, they anchored in 30 feet of water near Fort Jefferson.7:01 The crew also performed maintenance on the boat's water maker, replacing 5-micron and 20-micron pre-filters and running the system in auto mode to purge air.12:13 The unit produced 15.3 gallons per hour at 88 PSI of feed pressure.12:37
