Sailing Dilly-Dally

About :

The best moments and the worst are often only hours apart. One minute we were sailing beautifully, and then disaster struck. In a thunderstorm and hailstorm with 60 knots of wind, the Dilly-Dally's anchor came loose. The boat drifted over a reef and lay on its side. Visibility was zero, the depth indicator failed, and the autopilot display did not work. Somehow we managed to get off the reef. But the anchor and chain had gone. With tears in our eyes and paralyzed with fear, we went around in circles. It would be almost impossible to get a new anchor in Cuba, the nearest marina was 40 miles away and the storm was expected to continue raging for several hours. What should we do?
