I was out there last Monday,
Will not mention where, I pulled up to a nice open spot near an old sea ray cruiser that was anchored, I was about 30 feet away from them or so, I anchored, set my stern anchor and then in a couple of minutes all of a sudden I see the two boats closer and closer together, so I thought one of my anchors released so I went scurrying with bumpers to prevent anything, Looked an both my lines were tight and holding strong. Then I looked at the cruiser, they guy was only running a bow anchor, so they I asked him after he heard me making noise to help because we were going to hit if he had a stern anchor, his answer, well I was just going with the wind, I picked up and moved about 60 feet away, but because of that the guy took up almost the whole side of the sand bar because he was swinging with the wind, how rude! many came close to him set up and then saw he had not stern anchor and then had to move, there was about 12 boats on one side and then him on the other by himself, I think he wanted it that way.
