Squall

Well, that was crazy. During the squall we saw gusts up to 43 knots and big waves rolling into the marina. Sailboats heeling in their slips as they got hit by the wind. One boat out in the anchorage dragged several hundred yards, their anchor digging in again just before they hit another boat. They were able to get the engine running and recover, re-anchoring in the blinding rain. Big drama, but everything is ok now, winds dropping to a mere 20 knots.
