How To Anchor at the Sandbar *or beach* by Boat - Understanding Tide & Current

How To Anchor at the Sandbar *or beach* by Boat - Understanding Tide & Current

How many times have you tried to anchor your boat at the sandbar or beach and stressed about it?? No one wants to be "that person" who ends up high and dry when the tide goes out! I would think 100% of boaters have hit bottom at least once in their lifetime. If they say they haven't well they are probably just not telling the truth! 🤣 We have been there ourselves! In this video we cover what tide charts we use, how to properly read them and what questions you should be asking yourself BEFORE setting up at the sandbar. We go over how to read the water, watch for fellow boaters and understand what anchor you should be throwing! We hope you find this video helpful and feel confident at your next sandbar or beach anchor adventure!

I’m old enough to be your Nona and you are teaching me so much!!!
I just retired and got a pontoon boat and need to learn everything. I’ve never had a boat, never came from a family of boaters but it’s something that I’ve always wanted. Thanks so much for helping me. I want to be able to take the boat on my own without waiting for one of my kids. I appreciate so much this channel!!!!

This is a genuine and informative YouTube channel runs by genuine people. I like the twin because they don't try to absorb the audience and make money by making themselves half-naked in bikinis with useless content. Good on you girls, keep going.

Another fine lecture by The Gale Force Twins Academy!🤙🏾

I could be your father. I thought I new boating. I have learned so much with you girls. Thank you. Keep the good work.

[s.p.c.]

I just love your videos. You have such a talent for teaching in a straightforward, clear way. Thank you!

[mdjenk]

This is the one video I was hoping you would make - really needed this. Thank you!

[kirkwurster]

Good video. There's quite a few Qualified Captain's that should watch this video. Seen enough in my day that's for sure.
Good work girls 👍

Dont forget most depth finders have an offset setting where you can input your vessels draft to always see your true depth automatically.

Planning to move to FL from IL soon. Have a lot of Great Lakes fresh water experience but your salt water/inter coastal navigation and fishing videos are so packed with information It’s awesome! Getting so I can almost tell you two apart until you both smile. Then you look absolutely identical.

The Gale Force videos are so helpful! I'm an imminent, aspiring boater so all of these tips will be put into use very soon. Thank you Amanda and Emily!

[vintagedashboard]

Great to see you two again. Really enjoy both of you young women and your adventures

[robertbleeswa]

You girls are awesome! I’m learning a lot from you both! I’m looking forward to getting my boat and then I will be rewatching all your videos!

Hey just a trick with your draft. You can set that on your graph so it actually reads correct depth.

[nelsonclub]

Still the best advice out there - so clearly concise and professional - brill stuff

[starrsnowden]

good luck getting your silver plaque! I love how confident you sound, I get that as younger persons and not being men, tons of real life boaters probably think you are on your daddy's boat and no clue. Thats sucks, but here on the internet we are looking for helpful content. My only helpful advice as someone who is constantly the "new guy" to the boating community is say things like "this is how we do it <and name the place you are>" because someone where else it might be done exactly the opposite. Thank you for the videos.

It's very important to reverse back in idle after the anchor is deployed and tied off in order to set it.

[angelc]

I liked the video. Very informative. I learned a few things. 👍 Just noticed you passed 90K subs. Wow! So fast. You're well on the way to the 100K milestone.

[monywathar]

Wow! A great deal of information of beaching up at sandbar! Thanks.

[stoneygreek]

[theloneleopard]

I enjoyed watching this. I don't have a boat.
