MILLER TIME






The bump in the night was at three AM. We both bolted out of bed to find Miller Time, a fifty eight foot cruiser, up against Charmed. Pounding on their superstructure woke them. Their anchor had dragged in the calmest of conditions.



Miller Time had about twelve feet of rode out in water ten feet deep. We watched them retrieve it. The reply to the question of how much rode was out, “we have plenty out.” In ten feet of water and all chain rode, Miller Time should have had from forty five to seventy five feet of rode out.
