Quick, start the engine. Retrieve the anchor, up with the main sail and tack back into shore. This time I re-anchor very close in. Patricia is here. Hop below and adjust the points.
Engine starts and runs.
I put it in reverse and test the anchor. Finally seems to be holding. I'm not sure I'll be able to catch it. How embarrassing it would be to sprint across Port Townsend Bay chasing my boat. At least the engine is working better.
