CS34 Lindsay Island Long Weekend Anchor with the Quebec Navy

After a nice sleep, breakfast, and a shower, we pushed off the dock just after 9am:

Went over the pumpout dock, but had to circle around until other boats were done:

I have to say the the pumpout unit at Trident REALLY SUCKS.
The one at Whitby REALLY doesn't!

Winds were 7-8 knots from the SSW (deep broad reach), so we just unfurled the headsail and turned the motor off:

The boat ghosted along quietly at around 3 knots of boat speed under auto pilot.

Sailed past the Howe Island cable ferry: 

We sailed right through the Beaurivage Island anchorage, but there were 14 boats already there.

We continued down the Wanderer's channel, furling the headsail before we made the turn between Lindsay and MacDonald Islands.

We got anchored in about 9ft of water.

We got the dingy all setup, and went for a tour of some islands to the south of us.

Some truely iconic scenery:

Coming back to our anchorage, we saw Jim and his wife Ildiko anchoring their CS34 from Trident just over from us:

Same year, same colours!

As the afternoon went on the bay was filling up with sailboats:

...and many many many powerboats.

We had a raft of 7 boats in front of us, a raft of 5 boats to the right, and a raft of 4 to the left.

Didn't really think it would bother us, but then the music started.
Sound really carries over the water, they had powerful stereos with subwoofers.
Very disrespectful to all the others in the bay, not to mention the cottage owners.

This went on until 11:30 at night.

Irate boaters were blasting their air horns to get them to turn it down:

To make matter worst, they were pulling kids on tubes with JetSkis through the crowded anchorage.  No spotters, were were afraid to go swimming/paddleboarding.

We were sure they should not have been driving motorized vehicles judging from the amount of drinking and pot smoking that was going on the dance raft party.

All of these boats had their registrations numbers start with QC hence the term "Quebec Navy".

All was not bad as we did meet some nice people.

Couple tied to a mooring ball with their paddle board.

We had about a 1/4 mile dingy ride to MacDonald Island to take Shadow for a pee:

 We were treated to an awesome sunset (while the dance party ensued around us):

We went sound to sleep after the music turned off.
