Rob and Heid anchor 'Iwa in Yellow Banks, then move to Smuggler's Cove to seek shelter from northwest winds.7:34 They initially set the anchor by backing down at 2,000 RPM, but the vessel slips, requiring an additional 50 feet of chain for a total of 200 feet.8:09 As gale-force winds arrive, the crew monitors their position against fixed shore markers to detect dragging.14:40 A nearby sailboat without a functional engine fails to hold in the same conditions, drifts into the channel, and requires a Coast Guard tow to the mainland.16:22 The crew of 'Iwa remains at anchor, relying on the increased scope to maintain their position through the weather event.14:02 Proper anchor setting and monitoring of shore transits are essential for maintaining position during high-wind events in exposed anchorages.
