Port Townsend, at least for me, is traditionally a difficult place to anchor or grab a buoy as there is so much current out by the park on the spit. I set the anchor alarm one night out there around midnight and it kept going off. Dumby had it set for 50 feet. So I change it to 500 feet. Never went off again. The next sign something was wrong was when the keel hit the beach around 2 am, less than 500 feet from where I anchored. I can't seem to win with alarms.

No sleep that night. The wind was forecast for southerly ~10 knots. Around 2000 hrs the wind switched to easterly and was about 20-25 knots till the sun came up. I set up all night and watched ours friends 67 footer rocking about 100 feet away--- I didn't feel so bad after they said that they didn't sleep much either. Mr. Green We had 6 boats with us on that cruise. When the sun came up and the wind died down, Sea3po and Fishtales weighed anchor and made course for Channel Islands Harbor and home.
