On our kayak ride around the islands
we saw some raccoons, we think. They were scavenging on the beach. At
home we only see them at night. Very cute.
This morning a trawler
that was also anchored here left. A short while later a fellow rows up
in his red dinghy and asks for help. He is on a nice looking trawler
named Tangent. Apparently he is hard aground. Since there was no one
else to help we jumped in. Fred does not like towing the dinghy so we
had to put it up and them pull anchor. We don’t have a samson post.
We had to rig a tow bridle from our stern cleats. It took many tries to
pull them off the rock. When they came off the rock the stern came
right down into the water and they took on water in the cockpit.
Because their line was wet when I attached it to our line Fred could not
get the knot undone. He released the line so that Tangent could take
it in. Hopefully we will see them down the road to reclaim our 25’ dock
line. They didn’t even say thank you. I guess they were still
embarrassed and in shock. They just went on their merry way.
