Maybe it was just poor securing of the furled genoa, as mentioned, but it does seem a tad odd eh ? The main and mizzen are all bedded down and tucked in neatly which makes it seem even stranger.

Year before last when we were anchored in a small bay that shoaled towards the head another boat managed to run 'em selves aground. Once the skipper realised she was not coming off and the tide was dropping he just let her settle then jumped overboard and gave her a good scrubbing. That done, he and his crew came on board Raven until the tide came back in.

Not a bad way to meet people and I admired his attitude.

Does she have an anchor out ? If not and she does float off..........
