No, we didn't take any photos of this meeting. We were far too busy. When we wanted to set off yesterday with our boat, freshly showered from the night's heavy rain, and pulled in our anchor chain, we already suspected that the boat, that had just moored next to us, had put its chain over ours. And so it was. Normaly you can quickly free yourself from someone else's anchor with an auxiliary line. But this time, our anchor winch kept breaking down when our neighbour's anchor came into view. No wonder! It turned out that there were two more anchors hanging from the two anchors. Four anchors were wedged into each other. We are strong and always have new ideas on how to solve unforeseen problems. But here nothing worked any more. Help arrived in a dinghy from two of the other boats involved. With joined forces we tried to free the anchors from each other. From time to time it looked as if we wouldn't succeed. We also feared that the two energetic helpers might capsize with their dinghy or that the anchors might damage the dinghy. But giving up was not an option. And finally, after just under an hour, we made it. With two auxiliary lines and a lot of physical strength, we were free to set off. And the other three anchors could slumber peacefully again in the harbour basin of Orei. We are now in the city harbour of Volos and have no bad dreams about wedged anchors, because there are lazylines (murings) here. 😊
