It felt surreal to finally be on our way somewhere!īeing brand new boaters we set our sights on an anchorage in the Doboy Sound. We left Brunswick on June 1st around noon with our buddy boat, Howaho. But I was on board for this particular experience. Besides those two positives things, I really don’t love the idea of anchoring. And secondly, I’m envious of other boaters sunset and sunrise pictures from remote anchorages. If I’m being completely honest, anchoring out appeals to me for two reasons. I can’t exactly pinpoint how or when we decided that our very first night away from the comfort of our first marina would be on anchor, but at some point we committed to that idea. Being almost 100 nautical miles, we opted to make it a two day trip. Ultimately, we decided to make Hilton Head Island, SC our first major stop. Our time in Brunswick provided a lot of time to study the charts. So back to our overnight anchorage adventure… Boats don’t just stay in place in the water. Yes, that’s an important detail so I’ll say it again. This is important because due to wind, current and tides- boats don’t just stay in place in the water. When boaters say they anchored out, they mean that they spent the night on the water NOT tied to a dock.
(Because honestly, a few months ago, I had absolutely no idea what “anchoring out” even meant.) The One Time Saving Money Wasn’t Worth It But alas, I decided to go with The One Where We Anchored Out For The First Time.īefore I set the scene for one of the most memorable night’s of my life, let me simply explain this concept down for my non-boating friends.

Several different titles would have been appropriate for this post.
