ANCHOR FAIL at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME! [Ep103 RED SEAS]

We sailed overnight from one atoll to the next then arrived through the pass as a storm arrived. We had to motor through the lagoon without being able to spot any coral bommies and at times the current was so strong we couldn’t even move the boat forwards. When we arrived to our anchorage we got our anchor caught on a rock and then found ourselves drifting through shallow patches while Brioni dived in to free the chain. After some big winds came through (sustained 40kts for three days!) we added a stern anchor to make sure we didn’t swing and run aground on a coral patch nearby. We love living in paradise but sometimes it doesn’t love us! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🙌🏻 Support our engine fund 🙌🏻 PATREON: www.patreon.com/redseas TIPJAR: www.tpjr.us/redseas For more information about Wayfinder, check out www.iNav4U.com DISCOUNT CODE: REDSEAS See Wayfinder in action here: https://youtu.be/jQanLnmrHBw 💬 Follow us on social media 💬 FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/realredseas INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/realredseas ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 00:00 Coming up 00:51 Last time on Red Seas 01:20 Setting sail at night 04:54 We've run out of food 05:16 We're sailing too fast 08:35 The plan worked! 12:06 Sailing a narrow pass with a broken engine 13:51 Anchor fail in the middle of nowhere 16:56 How we rig a stern anchor on our catamaran 21:36 Outro 🎵 Music 🎵 All tracks can be found at Epidemic Sound. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📖 Our Story 📖 We're Iain and Brioni, The Reds, a couple of redheaded Scots who sold everything we own and moved halfway round the world to buy a boat that we could call home. We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting!
