Nasty weather

So Mike are you asking for the job?? It was just strange how that happened, and yes Dave I know we were very careful on the placement of the drop zones.... Sh*$ Happens....

You need an "anchor nazi". Someone has to take control and direct the deployment and retrieval of anchors.

That was my job but I left before the last two anchors were pulled and I feel like I failed. Next time we will but Hank in charge:) I'm good at passing the buck!

Truth is I felt real good about how secure we were for the night. My anchor was so locked in we weren't going anywhere it was hard to pull out and I was good with that.

I can't wait for the next raft up!

He was out Monday afternoon, anchored in Bowline...
 
Hogan came in just after the incident. Then scariest part of it was the 39 silverton spun around backwards with the anchor rode going under the boat. Both boats had the line pulled tight. I swore it was going to turn bad there but they did get out of it and I dont believe either suffered any damage. At the end I think everyone can say it was a great weekend.
 
Butch we had to do that so we could see how the 2 anchors were attached. Once we scoped it out the guy on the cat was kind enough to unhook them as we lifted them out of the water and then let off some of the tension. I was not aware that the other boat went over his (our?) line/chain. That could have been a major mess....
 
Butch it was nice of you to come and offer a hand:)

Ben Spreadsheet really? let me guess Greg printed out copies for everyone. Speaking of which how many boats were in your raft up? My Nephew is already asking me to go next year so he can join me, I told him I would think about it.
 
Wow did you know any of them? other then Lady Taz of course. Sounds like a nice time maybe next year.
 
Dave, we stayed out of the way. Too many advisors only cause more confusion and they did not need that at the time.
 
Butch I know you don't know me well but I just like to bust balls I didn't expect you to come running but it was nice of the guy from Florida to do so he really saved the day!
 
No problem Dave, I knew you didnt mean anything by it. I agree it was a big help when the guy went over. Didnt know he was from florida but it sure was nice of him. I guess bowline is the place to be, a boater comes a long way to anchor in our cove. ;>)

He came over to ask me about finding a lift that was wide enough for his boat. He told me he found the cove on Active Captain.
 
He came to Haverstraw after, I believe he got a diver to do what he needed done.

I heard he was a nice guy on a big trip!

For the record Bowline is the place to be:) I'm going to retire and live there.
