Have seen it before. Scary stuff
Your lucky when the breakaway link works and you just loose anchor and chain. When the link doesn’t break you beercan the windlass. It gets expensive.
One time in 1991 in Crete my ship stopped the anchor on the last shot the 13 th. 90’ per shot. It’s very deep around Crete we were in 400 ft. Usually most Anchorage’s are about 90 to 120 ‘.
