Had a bit of a panic this morning. Was sat at anchor, waiting for high tide (10.20) so that I could get closer to shore, dry out, and get to land (I was getting a bit of cabin fever). Then the anchor got unstuck and I was drifting towards the other boats moored here. The dependable motor started up and I avoided any major disaster. I reckon I didn't leave a long enough line and as the tide came in boatie lifted the anchor out.
When I finally grounded, squelched ashore and had a very enjoyable visit to Lindisfarne, bands were playing, sun was shining and I drank and ate. All accompanied by a strong wind. A good day not to be at sea.
Good for you , well done . cheers alastair
