Yes, we had a storm at the end of the first week. 6m high waves. We dropped the para-anchor, locked ourselves in the cabins and waited 36 hours.

- wrigby 9y agoI had never heard of a para-anchor[1] before, so I just looked it up - they're really cool! It's a brand of sea-anchor[2] that looks like a big parachute that goes underwater, effectively anchoring the boat where it is without having to reach the sea floor. 1: http://para-anchor.com/ http://para-anchor.com/ 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anchor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anchor
