Prinses Mia crew, Mike Anderson, pulls up the anchor that Primadonna had been using at its aft. The French boat used two anchors which prevented it from swinging in to the wind, one of several factors that kept visiting boats from anchoring nearby during Primadonna’s long stay in the anchorage.

Aft hook up, the crew of Primadonna then turned to raising the anchor off the bow. At the windlass, Pascal Ott. Monique Christmann, the other crew member, is at left.

Monique Christmann pours water over the incoming anchor chain. Clinging to the links was harbor bottom mud, which accumulated over Primadonna’s long stay.

Anchor sees the light of day at a few minutes past 7a. As Primadonna floats free, Monique Christmann lowers the pail for another dousing.

The towing begins as water pings off the tautening tow line between Primadonna and Prinses Mia. At right, on the Dutch boat, are its captain, Martijn Dijkstra and Mike Anderson of Oriental.
