Wednesday, 21 August to Sunday, 25 August 2013
After a night in Abell Point marina to do the washing and reprovision, we sailed north through the Gloucester Passage to anchor off the Eco resort for the Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club annual rendezvous.
There were about 100 boats here by the time we arrived including many cruising friends - some of whom we haven't seen for 12 months.

The festivities started Thursday with a meet and greet. The weather was beautiful for the party on Shag Islet on Friday with about 350 people in blue shirts.

Saturday afternoon we all headed to Montes when the drums sounded for the Polynesion party. Good entertainment, fireworks and a bonfire were enjoyed by over 400 people.
Final count had 170 boats there on Saturday night, with over 300 people in attendance. Over $40,000 raised for Prostate Cancer research. Great weekend - get there next year if you can!

It is great to hear you are on the sea again. I heard about the amazing numbers at Shaggers. Perhaps Peer Pressure will make it next year.
