Sometimes you just get lucky

So here we are in Brunswick Ga. waiting for "Sandy" to pass. You couldn't be in a better place for this storm(as far west as you can get on the East Coast). This stroke of luck all started In Charleston S.C. We met up with "Early Out" who convinced us to come to Brunswick before the storm was real threat. We all planned to leave on Saturday but when we went to pull our beloved Manson anchor,it wouldn't release. We called a diver who said it was lost forever in I beams on the bottom. We were not in the mood to leave at this point so we bid Fred and Debbie farewell but we knew we would see them soon as we now had their bolt cutters to cut the chain on Sunday. SO as I tried to sleep, some "magical thinking "transpired. Since we are on short scope and spin around in the current, maybe it will find its way home. Because we were about to lose 50'of chain and the the low tide could save us 7',I went to the bow that morning to retrieve the $20. Well much to our delight the chain just kept coming,complete with our trusted servant,Manson. After an medium quality overnight we arrived in Brunswick. Many cruisers here waiting for their insurance to release them south which equals fun "happy hours"
