When anchoring in an anchorage that has villages on shore or in an estuary you never know what your chain or anchor will bring up. If you are lucky you have a clean anchor. If your not lucky you may pull up a railroad tie pilling like we did in the estuary or up in the Sea of Cortez at El Burrow Cove the caught half of a tin roof that blew off in one of the storms.

Weighing anchor can be a picturesque moment or be non-eventful.

Make sure you have your camera ready.
