Yes... I didn't expect the heavy wind and my radar was showing the storm going North and East of us. I heard from a friend that near Timber Island they had hail.

At Silver Sands there was a small boat that dragged its anchor and ended up in the swim line. It looked like their I/O got caught in the line. I was waiting for the heavy waves to cut down before I was willing to jump in to try to help them, but then they got it loose. It took them a while to get clear of the swim line.

I was considering to remove my stern anchor in case I needed to get out of there, but the line was as tight as a rod of steel. I was almost ready to cut it free and get ready to run, but then things started calming down, and it appeared that my main bow anchor was holding well.
