Default Docking Situation Question #7

You want to turn your single engine sailng yacht
around in a narrow channel with a very strong current
behind you. There may not be sufficient room to
overcome the headway due to the current.

[Assume you do not have a bow thruster or a
tender to push your bow around]

What is the best solution? 1 point

Throw an anchor from the bow.
