Shaggers Party

A highlight of the trip so far was our Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club (ie: Shaggers) annual rendezvous at Shag Islet off Monte’s Resort opposite Gloucester Island from 25 to 28^th August.  This is the third annual get together though the first one we’ve attended.

We couldn’t believe that so many boats could fit into such a smallish anchorage – we counted over 80 and have no idea how many were actually there. The action was full on with activities planned over the 4 days of the rendezvous, including a byo lunch party on the sand spit at Shag Islet, best dressed boats competitions (by night and day), a parrot head party (come dressed as a parrot head!) and a pirate lunch at Dingo Beach (which we didn’tattend).

We met so many new yachties as well as caught up on many we’d already met. A thoroughly sociable time was had by all!
