Dean and Tess attempt their first-ever anchoring in Genoa Bay, a mooring-ball-heavy anchorage in the Gulf Islands, in February.▶ 1:41 They set the hook in 17 feet of water, working out the windlass controls and chain markings — spaced every 10 feet — on the fly before backing down to confirm the anchor held.▶ 3:47 Conditions were calm with no wind or current, so the test was low-stress, but the windlass functioned and scope came out correctly. Engine checks during the short motor over flagged a stuffing box dripping slightly more than expected, identified as needing tightening.▶ 1:27 Back at the dock, the week's other tasks included scrubbing green algae and grass growth off the hull and canvas with non-chemical cleaners, and cleaning a stained dinghy using a baking soda and vinegar mix — the floor remained too discolored to restore and will be covered with mats.▶ 9:19 Tess cooked shrimp cakes with sweet potato fries for the week's Captain's Kitchen segment.▶ 12:26 The crew notes that chain markings and windlass mechanics require hands-on familiarity before a first anchoring attempt.
