I will check weather conditions before leaving. If conditions change then I will roll with it until It's safe. Someone will hear about it

There's no way I will go down with a sinking ship I always keep my head above the water.

A man without purpose, is like a ship with no anchor. Tossed and turned with every wind and wave. Do you chase after the wind? Or do you find yourself a harbor? It's not the anchor that holds the ship in Position but the weight of the cable. Sometimes you just gotta ride out the storm, 'Hove to'.

Now you're just complicating things. The keel is what the ships hull is built around. A ship let's go her anchor but it is the weight of the anchor cable (chain) that holds the vessel in Position, not the actual anchor, or flukes. You're Country has plenty of seafarers, ask one of them.

A captain does need a first mate and a crew to rely on. Or would you prefer going at it alone? I don't know, the SS Minnow had both and looked what happened... Yeah. Stuck on a tropical island with Ginger and Mary Ann.
