Cell Phone Chargers
Each cabin is equipped with a duplex USB charger. This means that you can charge up to two cell
phones at a time in each cabin
provided that you bring the USB cables that match your phones.
You can plug in your USB cable by finding the receptacle next to a shelf in each cabin:
Bow cabin: the aft end of the shelf on the starboard side of the cabin.
Port stern cabin: the forward end of the shelf on the port side of the cabin.
Starboard stern cabin: the forward end of the shelf on the starboard side of the cabin.
The cabin lights breaker must be on to provide power to these chargers.
ANCHORING & MOORING
Anchoring
The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a 45# CQR and is attached to 100 feet chain and 200 feet of
line. The rode is passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER.
Before approaching an anchorage, bring the dingy in close to the stern so its painter (line) will be
unlikely to sink and entangle the propeller while you are maneuvering.
The anchor windlass is operated by a hand held remote located in the forward head. To prepare to
anchor, route the remote through the hatch so it is available at the bow. Use it to lower the anchor
until you have established safe scope as described below or until all the chain is paid out and you are
releasing line. Be sure to always have your engine running when operating the windless to provide
power to the windless and to assure you can maneuver until the anchor is set. If the engine is running
at 1000 rpm and the windlass does not operate, check the windlass breaker. The windlass breaker is
located above the starboard stern birth on the engine side. To see it, sit on the bunk and lean toward
the engine and look forward. The breaker is below the battery switches. You may need a flashlight.
The anchor rode is marked every 10 feet to 180 feet with zip ties. The coding system is yellow
stands for 10 feet and blue or orange stands for 50 feet. Multiples of 50 feet are marked in both blue
and orange for redundancy. Pink is used the first several feet to alert you the approaching anchor
when you are raising the anchor. Examples:
4 feet: 1 pink on each of several links
10 feet: 1 yellow (1 x 10)
40 feet: 4 yellow (4 x 10)
50 feet: 1 blue and 1 orange on adjoining links (1 x 50)
70 feet: 1 blue or 1 orange plus 2 yellows (1 x 50 + 2 x 10)
100 feet: 2 blue and 2 orange on adjoining links (2 x 50)
130 feet: 2 blue or 2 orange plus 3 yellow (2 x 50 + 3 x 10)
150 feet: 3 blue and 3 orange on adjoining links (3 x 50)
180 feet: 3 blue or 3 orange plus 3 yellows (3 x 50 + 3 x 10)
Let out sufficient anchor rode (chain and line) before setting the anchor. If the anchorage is crowded
put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water), back the anchor in with a short burst
from the engine. Then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions. Once the proper scope
has been set, choose one of the following to secure the anchor rode for the night. These methods are
designed to provide a secure connection to the anchor line with minimum chain noise and stress on
the windlass if the wind comes up during the night.

If there is still chain running through the windlass, get out the white snubber line with the
hook on one end, secure its hook to the chain forward of the windlass, and then use the
