Default What If?????


The Boat: J35

After a nice afternoon of sailing, you've dropped anchor (Danforth) near a
small island. The beach is rocky with plenty of underwater obstructions, but
you're well clear of this with plenty of room to swing. While below you notice
the wind picking up. Topside you know see a dark sky and the air is suddenly
cold. Bad squall coming fast!
You let out more scope and close the hatches. The storm hits hard and in a few
moments the anchor begins to drag. You're being pushed towards shore and some
serious damage will certainly result. Wind on the bow is now 60 knots, seas 5-7
feet and the anchor is now skating free and clear.

What do you do?
