The wind on Saturday was indeed incredible! White caps in Alton Bay, of all things.

We saw the Marine Patrol in our cove mid-morning. He had spotted a small sailboat that had popped its mooring in the wind and was bashing up against the rocks on shore. (Fortunately, it was the boat owners property). My brother, his son (9) and my son (11) went over to help out. The two boys jumped in the water and kept the boat from hitting the rocks and damaging it further than it already was. The Marine Patrol officer was NOT happy as the mooring, he said, wasn't legal nor was it strong enough - 1/2 a cement block and a tire.

And he had to use his own rope to tie up the boat to the dock.

Is my neighbor going to be unhappy when he gets back.
