Well, what do you know. Turned up in Nazare, and it happens to be the The Euro 2023 Beach Handball finals here. I knew nothing about it of course........
The world is small… Players of my former club in Munich are in Nazare playing for Germanys women’s team. They just won their group stage, tomorrows the quarter final against Greece.
I personally never really got warm with playing the beach version, but I have to admit playing under the sun with the sea in your back is tempting haha.

If you anchor up for the night does one of you have to be on watch at all times?
-
@Nik in the States running watches anchoring at night isn't Federal law though states and towns may have their own laws
the Coast Guard would not be happy about no night watch -

This is what ColRegs say about responsibilities at anchor:
Anchor watch
The duty to keep a proper look-out applies also when a vessel is at
anchor, especially if there is a strong tide running, or if other vessels
are likely to be passing by. Most importantly, a ‘proper look-out’ means one, which takes in the whole 360-degree panorama. Crew assisting the OOW should regularly report what they are observing.https://seamanship.ie/col-regs-rule-5-look-out-explained/
I would interpret that to mean that if we were at anchor, I should set some alarms, proximity, anchor drag etc, but I would not have a person on physical watch unless there was a high risk of the anchor dragging, very strong winds, crowded/busy anchorage........
