We got up in time on Friday to have another great breakfast out at Elliott's Restaurant before filling our water tank and stopping at the fuel dock for a pump out and to fill dinghy gas can. We only used a quarter of tank of diesel so we still need to transfer diesel out of our front tank that has been sitting all winter. It was a calm sunny morning as we headed out to the Benjamin Islands. It is a huge anchorage with a large, smooth pink granite rock known as the ski slope for hiking to the top for an amazing view of the bay.

On Saturday the rain came in overnight and continued raining for part of the day and we did sorting and cleaning of the floor lockers while we waited for rain to pass. The winds were going to change direction so we moved closer to the other shore once most of the boats left the anchorage in the late afternoon.

On Sunday it was a chilly, windy day but we were in the lee shore and the sun was out. We took the dinghy to the point after the tour boat had come and gone. We circled the anchorage and went out the back narrow pass that looked like you would need local knowledge to take the big boat. We went over to the ski slope hill but it was too choppy to land the dinghy. We waited for the winds to die down and then went across to Croker Island to be in a better spot for when the winds shifted again overnight.
