Departing Ottawa we headed towards Henry Island for an anchorage. Continue seeing the Pelicans and Bald Eagles. We are also noticing how high the waters can get on the rivers. Many trees with there roots washed bare and the level posts on the bridges indicating that clearance can vary from 60 feet to 20.
Upon departure this became our most despised anchorage. It was a beautiful location, but our anchor must have hooked a tree or something very large. After many attempts to pull, even with Serenity trying a back pull we eventually had to call BoatUS. They arrived a few hours later but were both ill equipped to solve and lacked any proper rigging to solve our problem. The only option was to cut the chain and lose the anchor. So a nice Rocna Vulcan and 20 feet of chain sit on the bottom of Henry Island Anchorage.
