Fireworks on July 3
We had a great long weekend in Swan Creek, with hopes of watching fireworks on Sunday July 3, which we did! But on Sat evening, a big storm came through and when the winds shifted from the south to the north overnight, our 5'5" draft sailboat went aground in the shallower waters to our south. We had 75' of chain out, and didnt' drag, but weren't aware the depths were so shallow on the lee side of our boat on Sunday morning. We were able to get away at the highest of high tide on the 4th of July but not without drawing lots of attention over the holiday weekend when our boat leaned starboard up to 13 degrees at the lowest of tide. I'd like to propose an article to Molly about our experience-LOL. We want to title it: High and Dry on the Fourth of July.
