We made a HUGE MISTAKE on the Great Loop | Our Anchor Dragged .5 Miles!

After two enchanting days exploring Fort Matanzas, we awoke to find that our home on the water was not where we left it. Our anchor had dragged .5 miles before digginng into the mud again. Once our shock had subsided, we pulled up the anchor and set off for downtown St. Augustine. St. Augustine holds a special signifigance for Captain Tom! So after dropping the hook in front of our second national monument, the Castillo de San Marcos, we head over to the St. Augustine Municipal Marina to tie up our dinghy. We grab a bite to eat, and tour the Castillo and grounds. 😎 Get exclusive content in real-time by joining us on Patreon →   / happilywhereverafter   🖼️ You can find more photos and stories on our Facebook page →   / happilywhereverafter   and Instagram page →   / happily_wherever   🍺 Buy Captain Tom a beer! → https://buymeacoffee.com/happilywhere... 📖 View our Captain's Logs, Mooring Reviews, Vlog Catalogue, and more on our Website → https://greatloopwaterway.com #greatloop #greatloopcruising #greatloopers #onthehook #yachting #yachtlife #carver #loopboat #icw #nationalmonument #floridacruise #staugustine #castillodesanmarcos #getoutstayout #greatloopwaterway #happilywhereverafter #swamppuppy 00:00 - We Woke Up to Something Quite Alarming this Morning 00:20 - Look at How Far We Dragged Anchor! 00:50 - It's A Little Sketchy - We Dragged .5 Miles! 01:15 - We Made A Mistake 01:22 - Our Anchor Alarm Didn't Even Go Off 01:55 - Screen Recording of Our Anchor Alarm App 02:26 - Trying to Avoid the Shoal We Almost Slid Into 03:00 - We Could've Dragged Into the NPS Dock... 03:30 - Captain Tom Imitates A Bogged-down Winch 04:14 - Cruising the Great Loop Waterway! 04:50 - State Route 312 Bridges (Fixed) 05:04 - Brown Pelican Sighting! 05:30 - Getting Passed by Another Loop Boat 05:45 - DOLPHINS! 05:55 - Cruising St. Augustine, Florida 06:10 - The Bridge of Lions (SR A1A) 06:28 - The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Anchorage! 06:38 - Dropping the Hook at Our Second National Monument Anchorage! 06:48 - Update from Captain Tom: We Made it to St. Augustine 07:00 - We're Going to Pay for Dinghy Dockage 07:12 - The Pirate Museum 07:22 - Captain Tom's Great-Great-Great-Great Uncle's Pirate Chest 08:13 - Glamour Shot of Ogre the Campervan 08:49 - Using Security Cameras to Monitor the Anchor 09:30 - Taking the Dinghy for a Ride to St. Augustine 09:40 - A Line Slips Into the Water 10:11 - Passing Under the Bridge of Lions 10:21 - St. Augustine Municipal Marina 10:31 - Attempting to Tie A Line to A Cleat 10:51 - $15 For the Dinghy Dock at St. Augustine 11:01 - Casa Reina is SO DELICIOUS! 11:11 - You Can See Swamp Puppy from the Castillo! 11:23 - Touring the Castilllo de San Marcos National Monument 12:16 - Well the Anchor Alarm is Going Off 12:50 - We're Going to Check on Our Loop Boat 13:13 - We're Moving to a Different Anchorage 13:26 - "Pirate Ship" "Attacking" the Castillo 13:42 - We Have A Successful Grocery Haul 14:04 - The Bridge of Lions at Sunset 14:15 - Great Loop Cruising Stats 14:25 - Thank you so much for watching! 🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd.
