Weather, anchors, etc.

We stayed up later than usual last night, 10 p.m.  Just as we were heading for the bunk, a clap of thunder, a few flashes of lightning in the hills, and then rain.  It rained all night.  This morning a boat that had arrived late yesterday was inching up on our stern.  They had anchored too close to us plus let out too little chain.  After several calls we finally awakened them.  He came out and let out a little more chain.  Well, we weren't at all comfortable with our boats being so close so we moved to another spot in the anchorage.  It's a funky weather day so we're staying on board; some new friends are coming over around 1 pm to play a game of some sort.  When we re-anchored we recognized a boat from our past years in Mexico and hailed them on the radio.  So tonight they'll come over for dinner and catching up on the last five years!
