  • Anchor dragged in 80 knots of wind, engine over heated went up on reef wind dropped to 30 knots and I rowed out 35 kg anchor, we winched vessel off, made repairs then sailed 3000 miles to Cape Town.

    Sir, you are a mariner. Some of the finest seamanship and spot repairs I’ve encountered...anywhere. With greatest respect, a San Francisco skipper.

    Windora was built to last. And wood made, I can't love it anymore. And you guys were built to take a good care of her.

    At first few minutes I thought this was going to be a sunken boat recovery.. So glad you pulled through and saved your boat I wouldn't fancy a swim at that latitude personally.
