The current was ripping when I got up this morning and getting the anchor loose caused the first bit of my back problems. I had to try and power over it and then get some chain up before the current loaded it up. It took about 3 hours to get to Beaufort and I was anchored by noon. The anchorage was a combination of boats on moorings and boats anchored with their own gear. The moored boats had short tethers and didn’t swing far enough away from us other boats needing more rode out in the strong current. I had to get up twice with the temps in the low 30’s and re-drop. The second time I just idled up current until the sun came up. It was not a good way to start the day.
