3 Perilous Situation: Lee Shore With Building Waves & No Engines!

Well well, in trouble again.
We woke up in Manado to grey and squally skies. The wind and waves were rolling in from offshore meaning our position was a lee-shore and very dangerous. If the anchor slipped or the chain broke we would almost instantly be smashed onto the rock walls just one hundred meters behind us. Time to find a safer place to shelter. The engines didnt start, flat batteries! Find out what happened next and the plan we made to get to safety. Cruising isnt all sunsets and golden beaches!
Enjoy.
