The theme of the day was Pirates and about a third of the boats sailed three miles to another island resort named Beachcomber Island. The rest of the yachties got rides from the boats that made the trip and we hitched a ride with Eric and Will aboard Windekind.
Along the way, we had water balloon fights with several other boats. Mark brought along a super soaker and a giant rubber band launcher that can shoot a water balloon 50 yards or so. Eric, the captain of Windekind was able to maneuver the big boat so that we could come along side for some nice clear shots and still be out of range of the hand launched missiles from the other boats.
Once we anchored, a long boat from shore came out to bring in the yachties. Almost everyone was dressed in some form of pirate garb and the mood was very festive. There was a pleasant barbecue lunch followed by some dancing and by the time everyone was taken back to the boats there was just enough time to get back to Musket Cove by dark.
The small island next to the Musket Cove marina has barbecue facilities and the marina provides plates, silverware and a selection of salads and vegetables for anyone cooking their dinner. This is very convenient and since the barbecues surround the island bar it is probably quite profitable for the resort as well. We ate four of the steaks we had purchased at Robinson Crusoe Island and went to bed tired and well fed.
