I just saw a Facebook post from Paul and Sherly Shard of Distant Shores TV. They were anchored in Biras Creek overnight and a big Power Cat dragged down on them this morning. Paul called it as a scope problem. The good news is that the damage seemed limited to the power cat. The power cat had 60 feet out and Distant Shores had 230 feet out.
Cheers, RickG

I was anchored off Prickly Pear and gusts were over 30 knots this morning. I had thought about tucking into Biras Creek and might need to revisit that thought if the power cat is still there. I had 100 feet of chain in 12 feet of water so nothing was going to move me, but the waters are quite choppy.

We chatted with Sheryl in Annapolis in October. Paul was running around and we never caught up with him. Pleasant and polite Canadians.

Was it a crewed power cat?

Yesterday morning a pre-dawn strong gust that woke me up got a boat dragging here off Prickly Pear which took a while to sort out; I got to bring out my dive gear for the first time in days. These strong winds have luckily subsided this morning.
