Hallets Beach to Dangar Island Return
 |
| Arrival of the Mottley Crew on Dangar Island |
Leaving Halletts Beach the fleet motored up to the north side of Dangar Island anchoring in preparation of a raid on the coffee shop where we promptly ran the place off their feet as they met coffee and cake needs of the rampant mob.

| Anticipation |
A short walk up to the Bowling Club (not open so no chance of losing out on the pokies) was undertaken by a few of us fitter folk along with Ella the scotty dog from
Once More Dear Friends.
 |
| Aah that's better a full belly. |
The wind was in the right direction to unfurl some sail on the way back to Halletts. We Saaremaates were surprised to sea
Dreamcatcher anchored in very close to shore where we like to go (as Sir Humphrey might say " a very courageous choice"). It was noted that later Helen & Ray upped anchor and moved
Dreamcatcher further out in the bay.

The Pirates Feast ashore was a splendid affair with the long banquet table set up and food for thousands (well about 40 anyway).

| Who have we here Pirates to be sure Ray & Beth |
Harlot Pirates and Harlot Wenches abounded with swords breaking as the Sheffield Finest Steel (or plastic) gave up. Derek from
Calysta managed to break both of their swords (he does not know his own strength).

| Captain Ken Hook and Libby wench |
After some feasting and de-thirsting a game of 'Bop the Parrot' ensued during which several tree shakers shook polly down but the only winner was Pete from
Pete's Dragon.

Hallets Beach to Refuge Bay via Patonga
At 1100 the fleet left Halletts sailing for Patonga, Saaremaa quickly giving up the sail and motoring most of the way. Fish and chips with a cleansing ale or bottle of plonk were welcome for lunch before the sail to Refuge Bay in rising SE winds. Patonga Beach is no place to ride out southerly!!
The calm conditions in Refuge Bay where moorings abound (even if they are not your own) were conducive to a swim and nibblies on the beach. It was not a formal do and hence Michael dressed in full black budgie smugglers while Anne sported her elegant Red Cross swimmers. Others were less formally attired we note.
