I fell for the clock bait lie. You didn't " loose the boat" but you did have a great learning experience. Just please keep it honest and don't lie to the viewers. Glad you are safe.

Incidents like this shake you out of complacency and remind you of the danger. But a real disaster (like losing the boat altogether) requires many wrong turns and it was good seamanship that got the boat back. And a good post-incident analysis is critical. All in, well done Theresa and Nick. Glad you're safe.

Vulgar, reckless pizzheads. Edit, and you think a lee-shore takes your boat OUT to sea, really?

Seems like you should have a GPS movement alarm where if triggered that the boat moves out of a geo fenced area it alerts you and turns on multiple large lights and alarms

Everyone can make a mistake. Very nice that you are open about it, so that others can learn from it. Well done!

Give yourselves a break, mate. You made a mistake. You handled it well. You recovered. You learned from it. Life's lessons are seldom presented in a way that is pleasing in all respects.

You mention chain but not the type or size of anchor? Most production boats have anchors that are too small - my boat came with a 25kg Rocna, which I dragged a few times, so upgraded to a 47kg. This has held me in >50kts of wind. The are sizing charts on the Rocna site, note the 50% extra for multihulls.

I have an app called anchor pro, which I put on my iPad and it sends alarms via telegram to my phone if I’m off the boat. It’s brilliant. I use it on the boat too, and sleep so much better.

The sand issue has happened to me too. Parked on a beach and a large ferry came by and the wake filled the tender. I used just the front davit to get the bow higher than the stern, opened the bung and used seawater to flush. Sand in the tender is bad in that it creates a very effective rubbing compound which destroys the join between the tube and the floor of the dingy

Wow. Tough couple of days! Don’t be too hard on yourselves. After being happily anchored for a couple of days in blustery conditions just about everyone would not be concerned or think much about the anchor set. Do you have a Sarca #5 or 6?
As you might have gathered we have, or had as it just sold, a 1260 for the past 3-4 years. At the time we bought it Seawind only offered CQRs and Bruce anchors. I bought a Sarca Excel #6(30kgs) and shipped it to Vietnam where the factory modified it to fit the bow roller well. Actually to make sit in it a little better. With the 80m of chain and this anchor we never dragged(thankfully and probably very luckily) and slept very well each and every night we had the boat. For your own peace of mind I would suggest going up a size if you currently do have a #5. That extra 8kgs is worth a lot and is not much extra to have on board.
Most importantly both of you and the boat are fine. Chit happens to all of us out there and what is most important is how we deal with those problems and resolve them. Seems like you both did very well. Congrats on that.
We actually left our depth sounder with no adjustment and reading from the transducer which effectively gave us about a half a metre in the bank when navigating. We calculated scope very conservatively most often putting out 6/7-1 when possible.
Good luck to you both and hope to see you sometime, somewhere on the water.
