HELP! Our Anchor Chain is Wrapped Around a TREE!!! E86

- We pack a lot into this video as we sail our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran down the Caribbean Island chain. We finally found why our reefing line was chaffing, and we sailed from Antigua to Guadeloupe. After spending a week there, eating lots of delicious French food, hiking waterfalls, and learning how vanilla is grown, we started hauling anchor to leave for Les Saints. But! There's always a BUT. Somehow, our anchor chain got wrapped around a tree that was about 15' long, with branches spreading just as wide.
It took about two hours and the help of Todd, Erin and Will from Sailing Symphony and an awesome boat neighbor (who happened to be from France) to get us free.
Thank you for joining us through these adventures.
Happy Sailing!
Love the French Accent! Who would have thought one could get anchor chain wrapped around a tree? Crazy.
I love it when Adrienne does her accents. She’s really good at it. Me, not so much. I’ll try and get her to do it let often 😊
Oh my goodness! I’m exhausted! I can’t watch all that hard work without helping from my sofa! Crazy I know, but I was leaning this way and that, willing the tree to go a certain direction, as if it would help! 🤦🏻♀️😳😬🥵🤦🏻♀️🤣🤪🙃
All of you were AMAZING working together to get that ornery anchor loose from that tree! Huge thank yous to everyone who helped out Adrienne and Jeff! I’m so glad the camaraderie and willingness to help runs deep in the sailing community! You all get huge WOO HOOs for a job well done! Now you can relax, have a drink, a good meal and watch another gorgeous sunset! So thankful all is well and everyone is safe! 🙏🏻🥰😘
The sailing community is awesome. We stick together. Love and miss you!
@@SailingWindTherapy I love and miss you too, sweet lady! 🥰😘🥰 I’m so happy you are enjoying your adventures and surrounded by such beauty!!! Thank you for letting us tag along... but without all the elbow grease! 😉😆😉
That chain was really wrapped around the tree. Great work getting it untangled. I'm exhausted just watching
It was like someone purposely wrapped it and tried to make the craziest knot possible! I was totally exhausting getting it released. Thank goodness for great friends and nice French guys nearby!
Great capture of a day in a sailing life!
Thanks Freddy!
The vanilla bean part, too funny guys...enjoy 🇬🇵
But maybe a little inappropriate? 😇 Adrienne thought maybe we shouldn’t put that in the video. I said “are you kidding me?”. 😁
@@SailingWindTherapy your videos would not be the same without your inappropriate remarks bud, they are a must 😂 😂
Good episode!! I'm exhausted just watching! :) Lol Miss you guys!
Thanks guys! We miss you too!
Isn’t it amazing how the sea state never looks as severe on video as it does in real life? great episode! Hope to cross wakes this year or next

Thanks Tracy! We’ll be working our way up the Caribbean next season and around May we’ll head up to Bermuda and then New England. Where are you guys now?
mad respect you guys, not only have you become some seasoned sailors and competent vloggers, throughout all your content you always stay authentic, funny and entertaining and your music choice fits like a glove!
Thanks so much! We greatly appreciate the comment!. Thanks for the support
“There’s a lot of pppfffssshhhh going on” 🤣 love you guys. Great episode. Thanks.
Thanks!!! 🥰
@@SailingWindTherapy you’re very welcome. Fair winds and following seas.
Digging the tunes 🤙🏼
Thanks! If you go back to episode 1 you can hear the first verse in our very own song. In our motorcycle group, my road name was Captain and Adrienne’s was Calypso. It was great meeting you week at we wish you the best. Please let us know if we can help in any way 🥰
Great video footage!
Thanks! A bit shaky but we were kind of busy 😁
Maybe could of wrapped a snag above the tree on the anchor chain and the ten to fifteen feet after the tree and pulled that horse shoe of chain up towards the boat. Could of cork screw the log out of place. I saw the tag line to support the tree though …Happy tree fishing!
Thanks. It was crazy how tightly wrapped the chain was around the tree. It’s like someone tried to make a knot!
Great video, love the hands on stuff and the sailing. Something that may help in the future on untangling the anchor chain, attach the rope to the anchor chain below the tree, secure the rope then let slack out on the chain.
Hum. That May have saved us from deploying the spare anchor which would have been nice. Thanks for the advice
This was my thought as well. Kind of like putting a snubber on the anchor chain. Pull the anchor/tree up as far as you can, put the snubber on the chain below the tree and tie it off tight on a cleat, let the chain out so that the snubber takes the load, chain above the snubber goes slack and can be untwisted from the tree. I was yelling through the screen ! 🙂
Glad you had friends around to help you get it resolved. Really enjoying this channel. Thanks for making these.
Thanks so much! If only we could have heard you thru the screen in the past 😁. We seriously truly appreciate the advice and are that you’re enjoying the vids.
Awesome vid guys!
We were going to call it “The Todd Video”. 😁 As we look back on it, it was a pretty cool experience though we hope it doesn’t happen again!
Great help , you couldn’t have done it all by yourself
Agreed! The sailing community is awesome!
A Japanese handsaw would be helpful - unfortunately you don't have that in your pocket. Good Job Guy´s
Thanks! It was certainly an interesting, learning experience.
Q - How many sailors does it take to pull up a anchor ? A - 6 One to pull up the anchor and 5 to hold the GoPro
