![]() 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? RB |
