Awoke today with Mikes dinghy tied up to our boat and ours gone. I figured something was up so I looked around and saw a sailboat aground close to us. He had anchored too close to land and when the tide turned and his anchor swung BOOM land! They went out to help them set anchors to prevent the boat from going further to shore and damaging the rudder and keel. Later on that day the tide rose and the boat safely floated back to deeper waters. What an exciting day! Lorraine and Mike came over for a bit and we had some of Steve’s spicy pimento cheese with island soda crackers. Was great to have company. We spent the rest of the day watching another storm come in and relaxing.

Farmers Cay anchorages has some funky currents and you may be sitting on your anchor or it may be laying beside your boat. And you turn in different directions from other boats too.
