Fairly windy, after mooring on the shot line, the shackle broke and the boat came free. On return to the shot line I found the main chain lose on the stern, I then placed in through the mooring eye for later attachment.On surfacing the wind was blowing into the wall, which meant to surface swim into the harbour for a pick up.
