Tropical Storm Barbara

First tropical storm of the season to pass over us...
The rains started to arrive on June 1st, happy first official day of hurricane season!

With the full moon and onshore winds, the high tide was really high!
The night (early early morning) the real winds of the storm came through, the boat wouldn't stop rocking. My net slings kept swaying back and forth all night. I poked my head out, i think it was around 4 AM, and the moon was really full and beautiful, the wind was howling, the water sloshing, the tide really high, an eerie feeling, and I went back to sleep to have nightmares that the boat came loose from the dock...

That was a truly "high" tide. Between that and the rocking back and forth it is no wonder you thought the boat would drift off on its own.
