the west end spots were INCREDIBLY busy/full due to the weather on this trip. Boats were pretty much doing nothing, and staying put.
spots that NEVER fill up, were filled by 330. we saw a fair amount of really newbie anchor techniques. When a guy next to us was swinging ALL OVER THE PLACE, I approached him with 2 beers after the only thing between him and I was my dingy I placed as a bumper. His ASA "certified captain" said to lay out 8-10x depth. he was at the swim line of CGB.
75% of the balls at CGB are gone from years/months past...north swell damage.
We got stuck in one of those storms that...instead of moving...got bigger. 45kts blows, 10+foot seas. saw one cat demasted, 4 jib blowouts, I wrecked my knee just holding on...still stiff.
Funny part is, we talked to others. when we had 6 rains/hatch dances in one night...they had zero. it was a real box of chocolates down there.
