I think it was French Harbor

in Roatan in the '80's. We were anchored near another small cruiser who intended to leave at first light the next morning when a late arrival anchored dead upwind of him and very close. My friend told the newcomer he was not only too close but had probably dropped his hook right on top of his.
New guy flipped my friend the bird and went below.

New morning I was up to watch what was going to be a pretty good show. I heard by friend start his engine. He had to motor up along side the jerk's boat to pull his anchor ..... and sure enough, it came up with the jerk's anchor hooked on. My friend let himself drift over and gently hooked the guys anchor on his pulpit and left. I think my laughter probably woke everyone up. At least he woke in time to keep from going around.
