You have had a rather challenging transit and been on the go for the last 10 hours. It is 1350, you are going to anchor in a Welsh bay for the rest of the day for a break. You intend to leave and continue on your journey around 1900. your echo sounder says the current depth of water is 5.7m a look at the almanac gives you the following tidal information.

HW 1457 12.9m |
LW 2109 0.3m |
Your draught is 1.6m
What is the minimum depth of water you need under you to guarantee you do not go aground during your stay? (you would prefer a safety margin on 2m)
You have 40m of chain then 20m of rope in your anchor locker. How much do you pay out?
