Sailing things right

Some charter guys came next to me today and nailed their anchor right into mine with sniper-like precision. You could hear the clang even from underwater. But they didn’t care — just started pulling back. I was in a good mood, plus the sea is calm today, so I just went down, flipped a few switches just in case I needed to maneuver quickly, and came back up to the cockpit to watch.
They kept pulling back... and eventually started dragging me along with them. The fact that they only dropped about 25 meters of chain but were already pulling a solid 100 didn’t seem to bother them — at first. But eventually, the captain finally stopped and said, “Let’s raise the anchor.” They pulled theirs up — along with mine.
So there I am, standing at the bow, smoking, watching them. They’re staring back at me. The boats are slowly drifting closer. They go, “So... what do we do now?” I said, “Take it back to where you got it.” And they actually did — brought my anchor almost right back to where it was and dropped it again.
Epic.
They ended up deciding to tie up to a mooring buoy instead — just to be safe. :)
