Anchoring - in the French Islands

We've watched the anchoring 101 video play out many times while cruising in the Islands for the past 5 seasons.  Yesterday we watched it again and I was able to take a few pictures.

1 - You drive your boat up in front of and as close to another boat as you can. 

2 - You drop anchor hoping that the anchor/chain on the other boat stops your anchor.

3 - You let out way to much chain - does not matter - just let the chain fly.

4 - You realize that you are to close to the other boat so you quickly get out a fender.

5 - Then everyone jumps in the dink and goes ashore for the rest of the day.

Pretty much the way it plays out - The large catamaran in these photos came in and anchored across the wind right on top of the smaller mono hull.  They sat on board for a little while and then realized that they were way to close so then they strung the fenders out - and left.  For the next day and a half we watched as the two boats tempted fate but never once hit. So got a few photos of the two this morning before we went ashore for some minor provisioning - French wine, baguette, Beer, produce, some nice pork filets and some chicken.
