Nov 17 Sunday – Trellis Bay – Full Moon Party


Nov 17 Sunday – Trellis Bay – Full Moon Party
Boats are coming into the bay like crazy!!!   I didn’t know you could anchor that close together!!  A few went aground.. 
Full Moon Party last night..     Literally 100's of boats came into the harbour…  It was like March 24 at the campground with people arriving every few minutes.. cranking the tunes and partying!
The sky was bright by not only the moon, but huge fires that are lite on the water inside of large steel structures of 'art!'
Good time by all…   MobeJumpers were there…. these are people that travel the islands and dance on stilts.. pretty interesting!
Called it a night and motored the dingy back to Island Dancer..   As I took one step onto the back swim platform, I knew something was wrong… very wrong!
The anchor has just at that very moment broke loose from its holding.. we were heading very quickly for a bunch of boats and the beach!!
It was weird the timing!!..     Fired up the engines.. motored back up to where we started, and dropped both anchors..  
We had dove the anchor earlier in the day and it was set fairly well..  So we learned, if you have 2 anchors, why not set em both!..   Lucky eh!!!
