About 11pm, it started storming....meaning thunder, lightening, and a lot of wind!! Oh, a downpour or two here & there. Vince, Drake, Chris and I were sleeping up top...Mom & Dad on the front, and Gina & Bill up on shore. All about the same time, we congregated in the living room to regroup and claim new sleeping spots. After all getting downstairs, Scott came running out yelling HELP! The boat had broke loose and was floating away..... Ok, not really, but we did break loose and we all jumped out to hold the ropes until they could re-secure the thing. That took about 30mins or so....
Then, as soon as we were all snug and secure, we went back to bed. About an hour later, someone again noticed that we weren't really where we were supposed to be. The other side broke loose and we had drifted up on a rockbed. GREAT! More wind, rain, and waves. The prop was bent and sitting on the rocks. After more this & that...pulling & pushing, we got it secure again. By this time we were all exhausted, but really not feeling too sure about going back to sleep again for fear of just being work up in a few hours.
That time, we lasted thru the night....thank goodness!! :)
