A 40-foot sailboat anchored in White Sound at Green Turtle Cay, The Bahamas, dragged 30 to 40 feet during a 35-knot southerly blow at 2 a.m. The crew, unable to reach Black Sound due to mooring-only restrictions, initially set their anchor in a patch they believed was sand but later identified as seagrass.8:10 When the anchor popped, the crew performed a nighttime reset in high winds, with the bow person removing the snubber and directing the helm while navigating a failure of the boat's navigational charts.8:24 The anchor was successfully reset into a sandy patch after the crew cleaned the gear of debris.14:38 The incident highlights the difficulty of setting ground tackle in seagrass-heavy anchorages during high-wind events and the necessity of maintaining an active anchor watch during severe weather.
