Moral of the story? You really can't be too careful when anchoring
for the night. The force of the wind at 40 kts is 16 times greater
than at 10 kts, and 40 kts is just a routine squall in my experience.

PS: Thank you Glenn Ashmore.

That 120 lb Spade is some awesome anchor, and it is darned cheap
insurance, especially these days when your first claim is likely to be
your last.
Sounds like a really interesting trip.

Cool dolphin video - I could watch that all day.

You can't buy those anchors anymore, or did I misunderstand you?

It was an interesting trip although a wee bit chilly by Florida
standards (low in the high 30s and very windy). We also had an
equipment failure with the electric blanket. :-) Guess we'll have to
find one rated for marine service before we head north this year.

LOL!!

Hey, you coming up this far again? I'd like to get some pictures of the
GB passing the Watch Hill Light.

That would be cool.
