It stayed nasty and blowing all day, (basically a continuation of last night) but it wasn't as scary in the daylight. [Did you ever notice that given the same situation in the day it just doesn't seem as bad as when you're in the dark? It reminded me of home when the tornado warnings would come. During the day - you can always face them better than when they come at night and you can't see them.] The winds kept up and ranged from 25 - 35 with gusts up to 45 and we were straining at the anchors. I say anchors because after coffee we set another anchor after hearing the forecast calling for Gale Warnings and more of the same with seas outside the bay calling for 8-13 ft. Seeing some of the waves come over the breakwater, experiencing the waves and winds last night, dragging anchors thoughout the anchor area, and gale warnings, convinced us to put out another anchor at 45 degrees to the first. We also decided to turn on the anchor alarm (on the chart plotter) as another precaution but I doubted that I'd be able to hear it over the wind, the rigging noise and the waves slamming the boat. Today was just nasty and this evening when I tried to sleep in the V-berth it was just toooo slamming, so I came out to the main cabin and tried to sleep there. It started to let up a little after 2:00am and Wayne went to bed, but I stayed in the main cabin just in case the anchor alarm went off (so I could hear it). It's Friday morning and there's a beautiful red glow where the sun should be coming up. Time to make coffee...
