Looking
for a more scenic anchorage we moved a couple of miles south to be
near an uninhabited island with white sand beach. There were already
five other rally boats anchored in the shallow part and as we have
the capability to anchor deeper we took the option of having more
swinging room further out. I snorkelled on the reef and found the
coral to be dead.
The
rally is now just a collection of boats travelling together as Sail
Maldives Yacht rally has fizzled to an end. With no Mother Ship
travelling with the group as generator problems meant it never went
further than Male and the rally leader, Hanyff, thumbing a lift on a
single handers' boat there are no more events organised. There
should have been an Ocean Festival in Gan at the conclusion but we
hear nothing of dates or plans.
We
stayed just one night here because we rolled all night. With the
opportunity of flatter places to stay we moved on.
