Anchoring Seminar

THIS IS AN ON-THE-WATER Class
June 15, 2024  – 11am (Saturday)
Meet at DOCK S
Oceanside Harbor
Oceanside, CA 92054

Know how to anchor in the local waters of Oceanside.

Learn the skills and knowledge of securing your vessel to the bottom.   Whether it’s for fishing, swimming, a lunch break, or an overnight stop, one of the real pleasures in boating is “hanging on the hook” in some quiet spot.  Emergencies such as loss of power, equipment breakdown or failure, or weather hazard may also require that your boat be anchored for a time.
