Weather

I would like to have one night of uninterrupted sleep but the weather is making that difficult. We are having a cold front come through which made the winds switch and pick up to 30 kts. At 2 am we dragged down nearly into another boat. We were only a few feet from it when the anchor reset. So we had to pull up anchor and reanchor further away. We were lucky the boats didn't collide. We are now holding well with 270 ft of chain and no one too near us. The water is rough so we are just staying on the boat today. This cold front is moving east and things should return to normal in a day or two. We are also getting a 4 meter swell on the reef so we have to contend with that as well. I am sure hoping for more settled weather soon.
