Kind of spooky to think or at least wonder how close the Anthem might have been to losing propulsion. The various, and granted maybe the uneducated/uninformed, live reports from the Anthem indicated the captain was working hard to keep the ship into the wind and the seas. The impression was they were barely making headway at times. Kudos to him for making the best out of a bad situation and potentially the maybe not so good decision to leave port in the first place. Anyhow, a bit sobering to think about how close this whole situation may have been to complete disaster.
