sag mal!
Pls re-read the sub-title to this blog.I think it says something about going where the skies are blue and the seas warm. Well that aint here!! I tell you, while sitting out our 2nd gale at anchor yesterday I almost missed my safe and warm offi¡ce back in Hamburg!
Anyway, feeling much more upbeat today after a few beers in the marina bar & some nice talky bits with some of the other yachties, one of whom we had met in La Coruña.

What tipe of anchor line are you using (in particular where we had both anchors out in 5 mtrs of water depth) and what type and weight are the anchors you are using?
thanks
Roger
We have 25m of 8mm chain spliced to 14mm 8 strand (80m total length) on our main anchor, which is a 10kg Delta.
Our second anchor is a plough-type, also 10kg, with 15m chain and about 30m 3 strand.
We hae since had F7-8 winds and hae not bothered to lay the 2nd anchor & experienced solid holding from the Delta in sand.
Cheers
Hey guys, great to hear you're enjoying yourselves, and that you're anchors are satisfactory. (Delta's are Great!)
Love the blog.
