Explanation of our Pan Pan call, Plus start of our Sailing in the Caledonian Canal. Episode 162

[@SailingYachtSaltyLass]

The camera always dilutes the experience of rough sea. We know from experience that the RNLI like a "casualty vessel" to call as early as possible so it was a good call. That swivel on your anchor is a point of failure. The fork of the swivel can be prised open by the anchor shank. Use 3 or 4 links of chain one size up from your anchor chain and put it between the shank and the swivel to relieve side loads on the swivel fork.
