Gusty Winds and Dragging Anchors

​Current Location:  Siimpson Bay Lagoon Anchorage, Sint Maarten
Miles Traveled:  0
Weather:  Mostly sunny, occasional showers, windy with gusts (20-25), high-70s
Highlights: Terry took the dinghy over to Island Waterworld for a couple of items for the boat, then over to the FedEx store to get info on shipping the parasail to us here in Sint Maarten.  Wind picked up throughout the day, with higher gusts expected over the weekend, so we set our 2nd anchor out just to be sure we don't drag.  Heike and Juergen came over at 5 for sundowners and a tour of our boat, and as they were ready to leave, we noticed their boat sliding towards us as their anchor had given way.  Quick trip back to their boat to start up the engines and reset the anchor, but a restless night for everyone in the lagoon as the winds gusted throughout the night.  Fortunately, no more boats dragged, we stayed put, and dawn found all the boats in their rightful places.
