Hontoon Island C-Brat Gathering day 2

It seemed like a short night. Rather windy, and listened to the anchor rode rattling on the bow roller. Rosanne did get to Mass, and then back to Hontoon Island State Park. Today we C-Brats started with a silent auction, and I scored a nice used anchor. I've been wanting to replace my 13 lb delta, with the next size up, a 22 lb delta. One was in the auction, so I bid $50 on it. A new one usually cost around $250+. We had pizza for lunch, and then closed the auction bidding right after that. The forecast was for some strong winds and thunderstorms, but other than a couple gusts, the higher winds didn't really materialize. We did get a good line of strong showers pass over, but then it cooled down and sun came back out. This afternoon, our gathering host, Tom Schulke, talked about anchoring. This evening many of us are staying in the slips here at Hontoon, even though the park is officially closed at night. (We all behave, so the rangers over look it.)もっと詳しく
