I was anchored in Ice Cream Cove out of Wahweap Bay on Sunday night. The houseboat next to me, which had parked way too close, only had one anchor out, literally laid on top of the sand on the up wind side. I was pretty mad at him both for parking too close and not properly anchoring. His anchor dragged 4 feet through the sand while he was not even on his boat. I boarded his boat and looked for an additional anchor but could not find one. My only option was to pile about 2 or 300 pounds of sand on top of his anchor that was dragging across the beach. When he came back I told him what I had done. If his anchor would’ve come close loose and he would have gone broadside to the beach that would’ve been a very difficult lesson for him to learn. The only problem is that it would’ve wiped out my houseboat and runabout at the same time because he was way too close to me.
Before going to bed I turned the steering wheel into the wind and started both engines to make sure that we were ready to go then turned the engine off and slept through the night no problems.
The docks at Antelope Point Marina are still under repair from the first blow, there was no additional damage from the second blow
