Slammed into at anchor in High Winds "It could've been so much worse..." | Sailing Sitka Ep 173
Anchored in the San Blas Islands, Jay and Kenna are still deep in engine repairs, chasing down a stubborn mystery air leak in their Racor fuel filters. Amidst the stress, a 50-foot charter boat loses its anchor hold and slams into Sitka’s bow—leaving behind damage. The ocean may be everyone’s playground… but some people need to learn how to play safe.
