Congrats on your new adventure!! I am still a relative newbie here, but the wisdoms and worldly experiences the real salts have to offer on here are priceless. We became lucky stewards of our 58MY in October 2015 and have been living aboard since. I have already cut and pasted bobk's list of anchorages into my trip planning for this summer. Good luck and please let us know how your voyage progresses...

Re: We just closed on our new-to-us 58MY!
Jon,
Yes, I have anchored in each of the creeks/rivers listed as well as many other places. Anchoring is so much easier than tying in and plugging in. We typically only take marinas when there are things we want to do, or nasty weather is upon us and we can't locate a suitable anchorage.
I use a 75# SuperMax with 200' of 3/8" 4G chain on the 48MY. Works like a dream except in thick grass where it takes some effort to get a set. In sand or mud it will set at 2/1 scope ( I test it each time, then let out anywhere from 5/1 to 10/1 depending on conditions.

What a beautiful vessel. We took delivery two years ago of our 53" Hatters and have been living on board since. Never looked back. Unable to do extend cruising yet, just day cruising with friends and family. We are moored along the scenic Tchefuncte River. Enjoy the life style. Have a safe voyage.

Re: We just closed on our new-to-us 58MY!
I just watched the video and was shocked to see Seas The Moment. Loran & Pam were my dock neighbors at Ortega and then moved the boat to Ft Lauderdale to be closer to Bahamas & easier access to southern waters. They flew in from Colorado for East coast boating. Loran was having some health problems.
You got a great boat. Loran really took care of it doing much of the work himself and had upgraded a number of things. There are posts on the forum under the boat name.
Enjoy and stay safe when you head to Philly.Art
