Unknown Anchorage to BUSTARD'S ISLAND Anchorage / Friday, July 22 (Day 184)

Admiral's Log:     6:05 am, Fri. 7/22/16
                         Air Temp:   73     Water Temp:   69
                        Winds:   4 mph
                        Speed:   9.0

We headed out by ourselves. The other 4 boats still did not feel comfortable going in the open water. There was to be some wind but near as much as the day before. Mike and I decided we were tired of waiting, and since our boat is pretty heavy we can take stronger winds and seas, so we got an early start before the winds picked up. 



Point Au Bariel Light house, see the barrel under the flag?
We went to the Bustard's. A small group of islands that became my favorite anchorage so far. It was pretty twisty, turny and rocky getting there. Lots of rocks peeking out of the water, pretty barren, with few trees. There were several very narrow channels we had to maneuver through. 
We have to stay between the green and red markers. Hardly looks wide enough!
Some a few of the rocks we must avoid, notice the black square, DANGER!
We dropped anchor at 11:15 and found Snow Goose and Jet Stream already there. Horizon Chaser showed up soon after. We caught a couple of small mouth bass from the dingy. We all took our dingy for "rocktails" with the other boats on a large rock.  We grilled pork chops and zucchini for dinner.
Just a couple of scenery photos
