Swansboro
The rain
stopped sometime during the night; however, the wind continued to blow in the
in the teens and twenties with gusts above thirty. The Rocna anchor was doing a superb job
holding us in place. The forecast for
the day was worse than the previous day.
Winds were predicted to increase in intensity up to 30 miles per
hour. We decided to remain in place
knowing the anchor was holding well.
Both the sailboats anchored with us departed. Several hours later, one of them returned and
anchored where she was before she left.
There are no better anchorages for nearly 40 miles north of us. The one that left and didn’t return probably
sought shelter in a marina. We put out
our second anchor, the Fortress, so that if we did drag, we might get it to set
as well and with both anchors set, we were sure we would hold.
