Lost Anchor

Well, I am once again experiencing not being able to put pictures on blog. Maybe later I can add one because this was an interesting scene. When docking at Prek Kork, our anchor came loose from the steel cable that pulls it up and down into the water. It was unbelievable because of how thick the cable, anchor and connectors are. The guys decided it was a flaw in the hook that holds anchor to cable because it split. The Captain had some local fishermen dive for it and try to locate it. They would use water hose to breath air from while under water. Several boats looked late into the first evening and then another group tried the next morning. But after lunch, a man and his 20-year old blind son tried their luck. About 3:00 in the afternoon, excitement was over the ship.. the anchor was found. The blind boy found it! They were rewarded for their effort and the crew got it back on the ship. Now we have to fix the piece that split and get back on the cable! gail
