[PUP] Plan B, Parachute Anchor (was Broaching, lessons learned)

[Scott E. Bulger]

Brian responded:
....PLAN B.....Have a parachute anchor available that will allow you to hold
to it in deep water while you decide the best course, need a rest, or
experience an engine failure....power or sail boat or combination


Scott shares:  Great advice.  I do have a parachute anchor, as a matter of
fact I have two.  In this situation it would probably have been more
comfortable to slow to 5 knots and cruise all night or circle 10 miles off
shore.  The boat is more comfortable underway than it would be in the ocean
with a parachute anchor (I think?).  Again great advice to have in your bag
of tricks!
