Episode 15 Ft Pierce and a Broken Anchor

Dragging anchor… again. 😬 And this time, it comes with a broken anchor. In this episode, we arrive in Ft. Pierce, Florida and quickly learn that settling in isn’t as easy as dropping the hook. From another tense night dealing with dragging anchor to discovering a damaged anchor, boat life throws us one challenge after another. Between the stress, we dive into a full list of boat projects—replacing a clutch and traveler line, installing a new bilge pump, and tackling a Starlink replacement to keep us connected on the move. It’s the unglamorous but essential side of cruising that keeps life afloat. And because it’s not all work and worry, we take a break to enjoy one of Ft. Pierce’s highlights with a visit to the Manatee Center, reminding us why we love this cruising lifestyle—chaos, repairs, wildlife, and all. If you’re into real sailing life, honest cruising stories, and the behind-the-scenes reality of living aboard, you’re in the right place. ⚓ In this episode: • Dragging anchor (again 😅) & a broken anchor • Arriving in Ft.
