At the pumpout dock the harbor patrol told me that staying the night was free, I didn’t even need to fill out a permit because I live in the harbor. Wow, I think I should do this more often.
Mia and I set the bow anchor like normal, and then I let out more than 200’ of rode (the usual is 120-150’) and proceeded to shut off the engine and toss the stern anchor off the back. After that I just toyed with pulling in the bow a little, then the stern, and back and forth until both were snug around 130’. It was approaching an extreme 6’+ high tide late at night so taking they into consideration I knew I should leave room for the boat to rise.
Mia studied the afternoon away while I sailed, took pictures, made coffee (using the newly found working stove to boil water, and a newly purchased French press) and got changed so I could feel yachty while making dinner. My iPhone doesn’t deal with contrast that well.
