I heard the stern anchor broke lose and they swung in to the rocks on the bow anchor. I guess this is a good reason to leave enough room for your vessel to swing clear.

Yeah, now they're all arguing over who gets to row it out to deep water in the dinghy so they can kedge off.

Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.

One has to respect the tug boat as one tough cookie. Tug boat captains/crew. Notice the man overboard in the previous post youtube video?
