Full Moon

A small group of about eight boats got together for the first full moon dinghy drift of the season, a couple of nights ago. Dave spearheaded this one since the conditions looked to be perfect.

The Harbour Rats are still trickling in for the winter and the moorings are starting to fill up. Notice the huge motoryacht which is really too big for a mooring, but luckily there wasn't any bad weather so it didn't break loose.

It could have been a lot different this morning, had they been on that mooring meant for nothing more than 45 feet. A squall came through at dawn with 42 mph winds. The entrance to the harbor was white water splashing up on shore with the super high full moon tides.

Even this boat dragged its stern anchor and ended up with the bow pinned under the dock for several hours. 

We sure get to see a lot from our front porch!
