An Exciting Night

We arrived in Mill Creek early afternoon and anchored for the night. We were somewhat concerned when four boats came into the anchorage and rafted up together; upcreek from us, with a forecast of potentially severe thunderstorms. We went to dinner at "Cantlers" for more crabcakes (they were delicious)! And thought we would get to bed early. Checked the radar and it was clear that a thunderstorm was on its way. The wind & rain arrived - our manson supreme anchor held tight. However, the four boats were now moving past us at a high rate of speed towards the shore - thankfully missing us on their way. For the next two hours it was a circus watching them unravel themselves from each other. In the future - we will move "Kismet" out of harms way when there is a stormy forecast to avoid potential disaster!
