Wind was slightly up from normal yesterday and 3x we got blown into by rafts of boats where only one person had an anchor out or 5ft of scope. After the 2nd time by the same group I lifted anchor and re-located (funny people think your at fault when your down wind?) they had noisy kids anyways!
We then rafted up with friends, both of us have good anchor gear and had adaquite scope out and didnt budge an inch for hours however this raft up of 5 boats came drifting into us FAST and no one on the boats was noticing or knew what to do.... they acted all shocked when we finally brought it to their attention and were fending off. The one on the end started up the engine and started to move forward but wasnt helping with all the other heavy boats- at that point we are pushing them off and trying to keep them out of are anchor lines. Turns out only one person had an anchor out... :facepalm:
Got a little sun-burnt:cold: first real day hanging on the boat other than a few drives. Seemed alot of other boaters forgot the rules of the road over our long winter but all in all- glad to be back on the water.
