Not a raft up, but rather anchor drag..

Lake Sylvia in Fort Lauderdale today: Blowing good, but no more than 25 knots in the gusts.
These 2 boats looked to be temporarily abandoned: Both had anchors out, but met in the middle of the lake and was grinding into each other.

Good holding in that area so must have been improper scope.

Sorry, I’m stupid and haven’t been able to figure it out for myself.

Nah, holding in Lake Sylvia ain’t good, so-so and strong current.
All mud, not good sand.

Open it up in Windows Preview, rotate it as desired as save as "XXXvert.jpg" or something to distinguish it from the original. I'm sure Apple's viewer is no different as they've been present for 20 years.

I used MS Paint to rotate it and shrink slightly. Its one of those old Windows programs that's free but everyone forgets about it. Latest Win10 has it in the program menu.
