Troubles

16 Nov 0800 hrs, woke up to a very stiff breeze from the sw, and a strong current(3-4)kts) running in the same direction, which will make pulling up the anchor a difficult task!!!.
Well sometime during the night our boat had swung around several times to another unattended boat, which
in this case was that the two achor rodes were not twisted.
Turn on the windlass, it did not work, so we tried to force the anchor up by riding over it, and musculing in the line( I had to muscle in the line), Scott was at the helm, things are now getting worst, we did pulled the anchor, but also pulled the other one as well, and now the other boats rope gets twisted in the prop, well s..t, now we are in a real pickle!!. We are drifting down the harbour, taking the other boat( a small 26-28 sail) with us, and the anchor will not grab!!!!.
Local law (water)enforcement to the rescue, as we got to some "dolphins poles", these are 3-4 large sunken poles tied together, and usually have range lights, caution yellow , etc. Anyway you know that large coil of rope we got, well it came in handy as the copper pulled the line out and around these dolphins, and back to the boat, and got us secured. Two or three more minutes and we wopuld have been on the sandbar.
Called Seatow, they are sending out a diver to cut the line of the prop...are they going to tow us, well they never did arrive....note, join "Boats US", they are much better, and there are more of them.
Ase waited for the diver, a samll skiff with two men, arrived, one owned the sail boat. After much apoligies on our part, the young lad dawned a mask and jumped into the water, cut his anchor line from the prop, but there is still about 8 ft warped around the prop, and only the diver will be able to cut the rest.
The young lad, got our anchor, etc etc, and managed to get everything back to the boat.
He then loaded his own anchor on his boat and we cut the line to his boat, and they towed  his boat back to its original position.
The diver came, and cut the rope off the prop shaft and prop, started the engines, in gear and things seemed ok,, and we release the roped from the dolphins, and back in business.. oh by the way did I tell you that the winds came up more fiersley and the current got stronger, when things go bad they got bad in a hurry.
We made the 1030 bridge and made our way towards Daytona Beach.
Here a new winless and accessories will be purchased, new chain, and a pro install recommed by West Marine. Arrangements made to stay at :Halifax Harbour Marine" in Daytona.
Arrived here about 5 pm, quite tired from the morning adventure, but all was well with Esperanza.

NOTE TO SELF: "GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH SWING ROOM", how could we be so stupid!!!
