After some quick knot work and a Lil rearrangement while getting tangled in the rope a scary moment, I noticed that my ship was directly above the sandbar and wasn't aground!
Much relieved I wait for the tide to settle so I can actually pull in the anchors and reset.
At the tide change I was pulling in my last anchor was I saw a boat approaching , the guy offering the help (thinking I was aground) was about to run aground!
I waved him back with an "I'm ok" and reset my position.
After getting dried off I check phone Doppler and see a missed call, I called it back and found out it was a guy named Sean at the Nauti Turtle offering help!
In hind sight I believe the excessive current washed away the sand around my anchor and the sheer force of that current had a good grip on Dawgfish. That's gonna be a problem I hadn't thought about and I'm not sure there IS a fix for it . Maybe a Bruce anchor would've held , maybe ..
Oh well for now its ok .
