We were one of two boats anchored in a large anchorage. About 60m from our stern to the bow of the other boat.
Another boat just arrived, stopped 10m to port of our bow, dropped their anchor, and are now slotted neatly into the space between us and the other boat.
Forgetting the fact that they could have anchored 100s of meters away from both of us (perhaps they get lonely), I always thought you were meant to drop anchor off the stern of the boat in front, not the bow?
Shall I set my alarm for turn of tide, or will we be ok? (Wind is light all night, but it's springs, so we will definitely all move when the tide turns)
