Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Magic Carpet, a cruising sailboat, dragged anchor overnight in Wellcome Harbor on the west coast of Porcher Island, British Columbia.2:58 The crew realized the boat was dragging when it began rolling sideways in 20-to-30-knot gusts, despite the anchorage appearing protected in the forecast.14:54 The vessel’s Rocna anchor failed to hold in the gravel and sand bottom, which the crew identified as poor holding ground.13:30 After resetting the anchor in a new, more secure spot, the crew successfully tested the hold by reversing the engine at high RPM.12:37 The incident served as a reminder to set anchor alarms even in seemingly calm conditions and to prioritize moving to a better anchorage immediately if initial setting attempts show poor holding.16:05 The crew also utilized a newly installed deck wash pump to clear mud from the chain before departing for their next destination.19:09
