Storms in Portugal, life at anchor | EP161

It's been the most stormy winter in Portugal for a very long time. We are at anchor in a flooded muddy river hunkering down and trying to get some rigging done in the lulls between the storms. These are just some of the challenges of the cruising lifestyle. We have a lot of running rigging to replace before we can go sailing and we can't make water in the muddy river so have to go to a marina for water. So, how will the new Bruntons prop do with the manoeuvring in the marina especially as I completely miss read the conditions and mess up the approach?
