I finally took the time to test out the upgrade to my drone this morning at Gore Bay marina. I discovered that following the directions is very important. The upgrade was mostly a replacement of the body. In an effort to preserve the decals on the drone I replaced the bottom but kept the old top. I figured it out when the replacement battery door would mot stay attached. For the most part it flies ok, but I'll need to switch the top when I get home.
It was a short ride (15 miles) to South Benjamin Island. We anchored in a bay on the North East part if the island just South of North Benjamin Island. After lunch we dinghied around a little. The island is pink quartz/granite. Lots of rocks near shore but sand and weeds in the water.
We got ashore and took pictures and decided we'd move the boat when we got back. The wind was out of the East making it a little bumpy. The islands form a circle. So we headed to a bay on the South West side of Croker Island.
We picked a spot to anchor but not knowing the condition of the bottom we guessed at anchor location. We would swing on the anchor and might hit the sheer rock shore so we move to a spot a little more open bit safer.
It looks like the common practice with islands lime this is to drop anchor about 50 feet from shore, then take a line to shore and tie it to a tree. We'd need a good length of line to do that. Might have to go shopping tomorrow.
It's beautiful here, lots of islands, trees and sky. There were 7 or 8 boats in the bay but they almost all left after we showed up. I hope it was because they had to work tomorrow and not them saying "damn Americans".
Should be a pretty nigh on the hook. Calm water and good sleeping weather.
