bad day, bad night at Endymion island

We left Canoe Point to clear customs and do some provisioning.  We saw Redline and went to say hello and proceeded to Ganaoque.

Ganaoque municipal docks were full, as expected.  We grabbed a free dock and I checked in.  That went fine, but no spot was becoming available at the municipal docks.

We departed to rendezvous with Redline at Camolot Island North, but they were in a precarious anchorage.  We tried to anchor at Camelot, but were unsuccessful.  We went to Endymion Island and took a mooring, but without a dingy, we could not pay at the service dock.  We waited out some winds and took off looking for an anchorage, without success. We visited several places, but they were too rough or too full. 

Met the pearls en route in their dinghy.

We eventually anchored near the mooring we had given up.  12 fee of water and 40 to 50 feet of scope, we were close to other boats, that would be a problem if we swung in different directions.

We re anchored with similar results. 

A thunder and lightening storm started about 2;30 in the morning.We watched the fireworks.  They were spectacular. We were blow out of the bay away from the moored boats so we could "relax".  But then we noticed were were far from the other boats and the shoreline had houses.  I immediately realized something was wrong. Checked the chart plotter, depth gauge and put out more scope.

At first light, we motored and re anchored.

We decided to take off east.  Forget rendez-vous with Alan and Norm.  It was just too crowded.  We sailed to Grenadier Island, middle bay.
