I finally figured out how to handle a silt curtain tear in a strong current near the Mobile River mouth
The anchor line snapped at high tide, so I used the auxiliary winch on the port side to pull the curtain against the hull while my deckhand patched it with a spare section of reinforced vinyl and marine adhesive, which held long enough for us to get back to the dock.

Always thought you had to drop anchor in that situation, but using the winch like that is way smarter.
