To improve underwater video quality, the crew of SV Cordelia replaced a single-handle camera mount with a dual-handle rig constructed from spare John Guest plumbing fittings.3:31 They emphasize using a dedicated waterproof housing for GoPro cameras rather than relying on the manufacturer's internal waterproofing, citing the loss of a previous GoPro 8 due to water ingress.5:49 The crew also recommends using a modern, oversized anchor—specifically a 40-kg Rocna for their 46-ft vessel—paired with an all-chain rode to ensure security.12:07 They advise anchoring during daylight hours to verify the anchor is properly set and suggest using an anchor alarm for additional peace of mind.13:26 When choosing cruising destinations, the crew highlights the Spanish Rias, the Ionian islands of Greece, and Vulcano in the Aeolian Islands for their scenery and cruiser-friendly atmosphere.9:09 Experience remains the primary factor in gaining confidence with anchoring sounds and techniques.14:51
