Wednesday is photo day

Dave must be sleeping late?

This is just another sunset from Cuttyhunk, anchored outside. The funniest thing that happened on our last trip was here: The night of this sunset we we had a near-miss from a large and intense thunderstorm, but still had rain and lightning along with winds in the 25-35k range (following a direction reversal) enough to test the anchor. Next morning things were calmer, and I went on deck half-asleep to find the boat that had been anchored aft of us was REALLY CLOSE, and moving toward us slowly! I looked to the side and the boat that had been there was forward of us and also moving away slowly! OH-SH%T - we're dragging! Started to scurry to start the engine and tend the anchor, then realized they were both heading out at the same time and were underway to windward.
