Arrived in the Carrabelle area behind Dog Island for anchorage.  Wind was from the south, so we took lee north of Dog Island and settled in at anchor.  Around 3am, Charlie felt the need to go topside to check the anchor, as he noticed that the wave motion had shifted.  A cold front had moved through during the night shifting the wind from the south to the northwest.  Our main anchor was beginning to drag so Charlie put out the secondary anchor (our danforth).  The wind was so strong that even both anchors were slipping in what apparantly was a silty bottom, being very close to the beach we decided to hoist anchors and move near the St. Marks river entrance for the duration of the night.

Although we had to relocate, we stayed warm, went back to bed and woke up ready to proceed.
