Anchor dragging contest

Yesterday evening the games began.  First a really strange Canadian boat drug down past what looks like a Hans Christian - luckily both boats were manned and crews were able to fend off.  The big test was trying to recover and reset the anchor that drug as the boat was no calmly at anchor about 5 feet behind the other boat.

Next a metal boat drug from up near shore - several boat boys and anchored cruisers climber aboard to try and reset the anchor - this boat was not manned but the crewed showed up during the event and was able to participate in recovery and re anchoring.

Then a Bavaria from Grenada (US Registered) came in and tried to anchor, anchor, re anchor, etc.  A fellow on a boat near the action went over and appeared to help unjam the windlass then assisted in the re anchor effort.

We had dinner marinating (Korean Bulgogi), so well after dark we finally put the finishing touches on a wonderful dinner.  Bulgogi cooked on skewers on the new grill, shredded cabbage, pickled cucumbers and steamed Japanese rice.  We even used our chopsticks.

  1. Ok... I had to go and Google Korean Bulgogi to see what it was. Turns out it is listed as the 23rd most delicious food in the world on the CNN 2011 Poll!

    I'll have to look up a good recipe for the marinade and perhaps make it one day in the RV... Where by the way... my anchor never drags :-)

    Happy new year guys!
