The sweat stains on our brow and under arms were growing with the anticipation. We’d managed to get ourselves into this bow and stern anchorage “like an old salt” (so we were told). But could we get ourselves out with the same facade?
We knew sailing into Hiva Oa in the Marquesas, that we would be met with this new challenge of bow and stern anchoring. Active Captain and Noonsite.com both had fellow sailors sharing their cautionary tales and tips. That’s cool we thought, it wouldn’t be an adventure if we weren’t trying something new.
So, a tight anchorage, restriction zone and constant swell schools us in setting up and breaking down our stern anchor.
