I didn't say it would be fun. But I had three anchors out and plenty of scope. One of them was a 45lb COR with 250 ft of solid chain out. We also took as much off the deck and rigging to cut down windage. We also watched the barometer so we could tell when the wind shift was coming and kept power on the help relieve the stress on the anchors. We kept a deck watch to make sure no other boats were dragging into us. One thing you will note in almost all the storm pictures is that the well built sailboats are always intact after the storms are over. Never, never, never stay in the marina. You try to go up a river as far as possible.
