Trying to kill some time on this flight, so here's one more. I went into White Bay early on Sunday morning. Probably 5 or 6 boats that overnighted there which surprised me. Plan was for a painkiller or two, lunch, and then hightail it before it got too crowded. Had 15-20 knots, increasing during the morning, gusting higher. Well, I probably missed that window to depart by about 30 mins. As I was sitting at Hendo's, a day boat went stern to right over my anchor chain. He knew he shouldn't have been there because he hailed us once when we got back aboard. His plan was to dive under his boat, manually pick up our chain, and place it where we could pick it up. I told him no chance and that he needed to move. He tried it anyway and found out how heavy a 50 ft cat's anchor and chain is. While attempting to move, difficult in that cross wind, he wrapped a smaller boats chain in his prop. A few good samaritans helped and finally got him untangled so he could move away. We were able to motor forward, pick up our anchor, and get out of there without incident. But definitely not the stress one goes searching for! I heard a power cat did the opposite a couple days later and fowled a stern to anchor. It's one thing if it's crowded and blowing 10 knots. A lot different in there at 20.
