Before the storm reached the harbor, the captain ordered the crew to lay an anchor to the windward to ensure the ship would not drift.

The ship's multiple anchorings across the stormy bay prevented it from drifting into the reef.

At dawn, the crew weighed anchor and sailed into the fog.

The construction crew ordered extra anchor nuts to secure the new support beams.

Before the fog rolled in, the captain counted the anchor buoys to confirm their positions.

Before the storm hit, the crew checked the anchor lines and tightened every knot along the bow.

The engineer inspected the anchor pylons before the storm hit.

The harbor master inspected the anchor balls to ensure they were securely attached before the storm.

The anchor men coordinated their questions to avoid interrupting each other during the live debate.

The ancient harbor's map marked several anchorholds where ships could safely moor during storms.
