Dragging moorings

After the race I rowed Worm over to the raft of boats that included Corncockle and Carlotta for an OGA drinks gathering. In the end there were four quite heavy boats on one mooring, and it began to drag, so the party broke up quite abruptly.

On rowing back to Robinetta I saw that the mooring ahead of us now had three heavy boats on it. They looked a lot closer to Robinetta than when we left, so Julian got the bowsprit in. Within five minutes the boats had drifted even closer, so we dropped the mooring, and went to anchor Robinetta clear of other boats before heading ashore to eat.
