Colin's lost anchor!

A few weeks ago Colin appeared at church one Sunday morning. He had sailed in from Gosport on his Moody 42 sailing yacht 'Lorelia'. Well, Colin has been a real help with the clubs at church and yesterday we invited him round for lunch after church. We watchd his yacht in the strong winds from the comfort of our living room, and all seemed to be well. However, we attended a talk given by Baroness Caroline Cox in the afternoon, about the work she has done and is doing in countries where there is great need. During this talk Colin received a call from the Harbour Office - his yacht had broken free of its anchor! So today we spent a fruitless hour grappling for the lost anchor and 5 metres of chain. I think that the sea has claimed that one!
