But now I see what you have done

Missed the entrance or miss took the entrance? Confirmation bias is something that has been mentioned here a few times.

My very own Marina (for the last 6 years) still
makes me think when entering it. The typical approach to a facing starboard marker isn't intuitive and that's with a marina I'm familiar with.

Yes extreme circumstances can overwhelm the best prepared sailor, but the vast majority of SARs are for people who should not be out there.


I have several friends who have been flight crew for Aerorescue over the years and they claim that the majority of their sea searches are from people that just want to get off (fatigued) acknowledging that that on itself may be part of either not being prepared or should not have been out there.

I have 60m of 10mm chain and another 50-60m of nylon. Even with that I only slept best after purchasing a Rocna anchor (not soundly, but better).
After 185 consecutive nights (not true there were some marina stays) on the pick it only let me down once and that was with multiple attempts to set it. Once set even with 45kt winds over 4 straight days it held solid.
