Decisions Decisions! Just Another Squall. Sailing our Lagoon 380, 'Inna Peace'

Weather report said it was going to get messy. So why would these two ride it out while anchored on the lee shore?? (with the shore being to leeward relative to our position) Something that Elayne taught in her sailing classes is a BIG, HUGE, NO NO!!! So why??.....Why did they decide to do this?? Well, it is going to hit from all sides today through tomorrow. And rain, lotsa rain too!!! Decisions, Decisions.....
