Water probably too deep. And for a good anchorage the rule is a scope of anchor chain 7 x the depth of water.
Anchors can be a ship savers on some limited occasions.
I was on the bow of a tanker leaving locks in the Panama canal when the suction of an adjacent ship sent us toward a collision. We had really cheap and lousy radios but not being asleep up there I assumed the crackle & static was an order to let go the anchor. I let go the correct anchor and brought it back in just right to straighten us out.
Got myself a promotion and a transfer to a new ship.
And I never tell sea stories where I screwed up.
I be you have seen it all. I would like to set down for a cup of coffee with someone like you one day. I lived in Corpus Christi as a young man and fell in love with the sea and the ships. I’ve spent my life on dry land, but at age 37, if I had to make a career change, I’d like for it to be on or around the sea.
