Life on the hook keeps you on your toes!!!! The forecasted cold front came through last night which meant a 180 degree shift.......GOOD Spade anchor!...Grey Hound held fast. The front came through pretty strong (25-35 kn) ............we were just finished with supper and I was posting on the blog and Dick said "Do you think that boat is dragging?!?" I said "YES!" From there things went from an easy evening to......Get the horns.....and the lights, turn on the engine, get the computer down below and by the way blow out the candle.......as a 40 ft cabin cruiser was dragging down on Grey Hound! Heck, that thing looked like the our garage drifting down on us!
But in the usual Grey Hound fashion she swung and responded to the wind and we watched the cabin cruiser drift by. We don't know if the Captain heard our horns or saw our lights but they did wake up and reset BEHIND US!!!! Thank You, Neptune!!
ps.... also thank you Cooper Canvas (as we wouldn't been up top for as long as we were if we didn't have the dodger!)
ps2.........Jim S, this is for you!
