Wes and Kate prepare their Catalina 30 for hurricane season by evaluating storm-anchoring strategies and performing maintenance. To avoid the space constraints of carrying a secondary oversized anchor, they consider a tandem anchoring setup using their primary and backup anchors connected by 30 feet of chain.2:16 This configuration aims to increase holding power while minimizing the risk of fouling compared to a 90-degree dual-anchor deployment.2:38 For weather monitoring, they rely on PredictWind, Dark Skies, and AccuWeather.3:00 Post-storm inspections reveal the effectiveness of existing chafe gear on the boat's lines, though they plan to upgrade to more robust protection.6:15 The crew also addresses ongoing maintenance issues, specifically replacing leaking port light gaskets to prevent water ingress.6:31 During a routine check of the vessel, they discover a small fish trapped in a freshwater container and relocate it to the surrounding saltwater.5:12
