Bow line lets go in storm Cara! Can I fix it?

January storms broke the bow lines of Green Tambourine's mooring. I had to make a dash to the bay to make her safe. In this video you can follow my stumbling efforts to effect a repair, ultimately successfully but not before almost losing the dinghy... -AGAIN! I've never had to undertake a repair like this before, so please comment below on better ways of doing it, I'm all ears! Different ways to support this channel: 1. Like the video!
