Dragging anchor!
14 January 2011 | Clarks Court, Grenada
Woke up this morning, around 4am, to someone yelling in the radio. They were warning all ships that a ship was dragging anchor in the harbor. It was rainy and dark so very hard to see, but once we caught a glimpse of the vessel, it was on a path heading directly towards us. The ship that was loose (s/v Apollo) was slowly but surely drifting along. The ship directly in front of us (s/v Olive) were trying desperately to get their anchor up and get out of the way. Before Olive could move the Apollo had beared down on her and all their lines got tangled up. We pulled up anchor ourselves and tried to lend a hand to Apollo and Olive. What a way to wake up in the morning! Alfy slept through the whole thing....go figure!
