When it rains, it pours!
30+ knots of gusting blinding rain...
and my anchor held firm.
I saw gusts to 31 knots
When i originally anchored here Friday, the wind YELLOW was from the North/East. Then when the weather changed, the wind turned to the South, as shown in BLUE. Yesterday a storm blew through and the wind was from the South/West as shown in BLACK. The anchor didnt change, but the chain was pulled in a different direction and the boat spun on its anchor. There were some boats in the harbor that drug anchor.
This below is Mr. Bill on s/v White Bird @ 540am putting out more chain
after the wind turned our boats and he realized he was too close to Prodigal.
You cant tell from the photo, but WE are very close together. He anchored too close and when the wind changed and we spun around i was almost sitting in his living room! (thank goodness it's not raining and blowing 30 knots while he's on deck)
