Boat achoring at islands
Hi Tom-
Glad you are enjoying your SeaCraft and your family in it. Here is a comment for future consideration. The seas look calm and it looks like you may have a full splashwell like I added to my '76 20' Seafari, (think I sent you photos). But, I knew a guy who swamped his boat (not a SeaCraft) somewhere near Sanibel. He anchored from the stern with the bow up on the sand- think a big wake got him. I always anchor from the bow and slowly back into the beach, while trimming up. Step up onto the swim platform into knee deep water, then set a smaller anchor in the sand. Of course in my Seafari this is the easiest way to exit the boat and the boat rides well while you are enjoying the beach.
