Later Thursday afternoon, Floyd talked about getting anchor straightened...AGAIN...one of the dock guys helped him try with no success. Then offered to get him same anchor for cheap...and have it here 8ish on Friday morning. Since the chances looked good that we'd have to anchor out in Onancock, we opted to do just that....easy peasy!!! and its so shiny and clean!!! Not to mention straight!!! It just sticks out there...no wonder we manage to clip it exiting the slips....

in the middle of all that anchor straightening, here came a tow to collect the empty barge across the canal. I'll bet it didn't take them 10 minutes to whip in there, get attached and head out. You could tell they had done that before....it was just a little closer than we'd viewed that action ever before. Whew!
