Strange she must be going to 'swing' first as she has dropped her starboard anchor

You most probably know the area better than myself Mike is there room to 'Prop Walk' the vessel to Starboard around the dropped anchor bearing in mind she is in a light condition, no Bow or Stern thrusters in those days, who ever invented thrusters (Vetus?) deserves a medal :D although the 'old school' might question the Seamanship skills of those that need to use them on today's vessels :(

My Dad always said bow thrusters were for people who could not handle a ship :D

Bow Thruster(s) were not much help on the MV Evergiven when she smacked into the bank of the Suez Canal :D I understand the Egyptian JCB Driver who pushed the Bow off is claiming PTSD :( not only for himself but also his family, his Parents and his Wife's Parents, nothing less than a million Dollars will do. :o
