Many good boating videos on YouTube, but please leave out the lame music. It is distracting !

The rules don't require a PFD jacket to be WORN by adults, only that a wearable PFD is AVAILABLE for each person on board, plus one throwable (Type IV) PFD.
That being said, that thing around his waist could very well be a belt-pack inflatable PFD, most of which are USCG approved. -
Crushed 51, Not sure if you are asking how do you retrieve the anchor aka weigh anchor or something else. If it's the former, then you either manually haul up the anchor or if the boat (cabin cruiser or yacht) has an electric winch then you simply push the up button on the dash panel.

A question for any sailor viewing this clip. How in the name of all that's holy do you "weigh" anchor on a cabin cruiser ?.
All my searches come up with "cabin cruisers for sale", "how to drop anchor", or "activity on a battle cruiser weighing anchor", Nothing about how to actually weigh anchor and get under way.
Not being an experienced sailor, I would imagine that it is a tad difficult to get under way before you get the anchor up, and if not actually on deck then at least off the bottom. I am thjinking of getting a cabin cruiser, and I THINK it might be helpful if I at least know how to get started, instead of mqaking myself look like a prize idiot.
Can anybody show a link to how to do it, or actually tell me how to do it ?.
Any heelp would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance friends -
Awesome video! I just got my starting boat and this video really answered a bunch of unanswered q's that I had. Thanks!!

Can you guys please make rules more strict and actually provide a test, so many people don't know how to drive a boat I've almost been hit while anchored.

A responsible boat operator will always take the time, before casting-off, to talk with passengers regarding safety. This is especially true if there are first-time passengers onboard your boat. Explain the necessity of knowing where all safety gear is located and what actions to take if an emergency happens. The boat operator is ultimately tasked with operating the boat responsibly and for the safety and well being of his or her passengers.
