Leaving the harbor, it was a lot rougher than any of us anticipated. It was difficult to see, and avoid, the crab pots. We got hung up on one, had to drop the sails, put her in reverse with the motor, and eventually break free. But Mike could tell there was line around the prop based on the vibrations. So we went even further out, to grab a mooring ball so that the divers among us could go overboard and free the second engine prop. The cutters you see in John's hand (first picture) was used to cut through the tangled line.
