🌀 Storm Anchorage DecisionStep 2 of 10
Staying. First decision — anchor watch. How is the night structured?
An anchor watch in building wind is not optional. The question is structure. Two-on / two-off in 2-hour shifts is the textbook approach — one person fully awake at the helm with the anchor-drag alarm armed, the other in oilskins ready to come up in 30 seconds. The alternative is a single watch-keeper with the off-watch person sleeping in clothes — works for short blows but burns out a two-person crew by 0400. The third option — both up, both awake — is what you do once wind crosses 28 kn or the anchor drag alarm triggers, not what you START the night with. Choose the cadence that keeps your sharpest pair of eyes available at the 0200 peak.

Recommendation
⚠️ ALUNA anchored in Cala Llonga, east coast of Mallorca. Set anchor in calm at 1700; wind has built steadily to 18 kn from the SSE. The 2100 forecast just downgraded — 32 kn peaks expected by 0200, easing toward dawn. Anchor holding in 6 m of water on 4:1 scope (24 m chain out). Battery 58 %, solar gone with sunset, fuel 70 %. Bay is open to the south-south-east — the worst sector for tonight's wind. Two other boats in the anchorage. Crew: you plus one. The next six hours decide the night.
