Gilly, this past year I had a rope stuck in my prop, and was dangerously close to some rocks in choppy water.

I immediately deployed my anchor, but was getting pushed closer to the rocks as I tried to cut and untangle the rope.

With a paddle onboard I could have at least moved the boat a safe distance away from the rocks first.

Damaged a nerve on my left ring finger pulling on that freiking rope.
