Traditionally we have gathered with good boating friends (all sailors) over the Labor Day weekend. While our boating weekend was cut short this year because of a wedding, we still managed to hook up with our friends, spending Sunday night in the North bay of Chambers Island and another anchored off of Horseshoe Island. Sunday was a peaceful night but Monday on Horseshoe had a bit of activity as a rather severe squall came through about sunset.
We got to Horseshoe early, had our pick of the anchorage and tucked well behind the point with plenty of scope. When the front came though we were told it blew 35-40 but you would not have known it on Buddy. A couple of friends boats dragged after the squall passed and the wind settled in out of the Southeast at 10-15, hitting them broadside. We were facing Southeast so all we could do was assist, untying shorelines for the affected boats...
