Lucky or not?

Does good luck come with bad?

This is my 2nd post today. I got my package this morning : )

I had a doctor’s appointment early in the day. When I got back to Namaste I started installing my new voltage regulator. When I was in the engine room I heard surf, which was kind of strange considering I’m anchored 75 yards off of the rocks.

Well when I popped my head out of the companion way, I saw that I was 10 feet off of the rocks. I ran to the anchor and pulled in about 15 feet of Rhode, and found a chafed bitter end. How could it chafe there? I had 80’ of chain down, with another 60’ of line?

I started the motor, secured another anchor, and re-anchored.

I’m going to go diving and look for my anchor tomorrow at lo-tide. All chain is defiantly the way to go.

The not so good news is,  the doctor told me I have an irregular heart beat. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been so tired lately?

I’m going for more tests and an EKG tomorrow, what’s that all about ? : (

Hope all is well.

Cheers all.
