Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. After using our CQR anchor for 2 months and having many difficulties with it, both on and off the camera, we made the decision to upgraded our anchor. In this video, we explain why we choose the Mantus M1 anchor and show you how we installed it. We can’t wait to test it out more and have more good night sleeps knowing we won’t be dragging anchor anymore! Thanks for watching!

We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive head first into boat life, and kick off America’s Great Loop. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. Thank you for following us along our journey! ________________ Note — Some of these links are affiliates. We recommend stuff we love and if you like it also they might give us a small kick back.
