Episode 83 - Terrifying Ordeal Lifting Anchor!

This episode took some making!!! We decided to share this horrible experience with you in the hope you learn from our mistakes, and to show how crazy sailing life can be. Weather can change so quickly and things can go wrong so easily! Leading up to the day in question in this episode, we had put our stern anchor out to keep ourselves facing into the swell, so it wasn't uncomfortable in the anchorage when the wind was opposing the swell. Unfortunately totally unpredicted wind and waves built overnight and we woke to the deteriorating conditions we found ourselves in, looking back we would of done things differently, but on this day we chose to retrieve our stern anchor, Chris and Beau went out in the tender to do so and I stayed onboard with Bear to control Pickle incase we started to drag on our bow/primary anchor when the stern anchor was removed and we turned back into a more natural position on our front anchor. Anyway that is where the problems began, I hope you enjoy the episode, please feel free to leave us a comment, and I apologise for the swearing throughout 😬 Thank you to our wonderful patrons, you are really helping to make all this possible!
