This year is the tenth anniversary of the Loch Morgan camp out. It is a men only event, but this year the women were invited to the treasure hunt. Kristin, Pia, Mary, Monique, Holly and I rendezvous'd at the boat ramp at eleven. The men distributed us among the boats, and took us across the lagoon to the camp.
I brought an eyeliner crayon so we women could disguise ourselves with moustachios. Mary wanted to be the queen of the day, so opted out of a disguise. Brian redubbed us with men's names, and we carried on in manly ways.
On arrival we raised the Colors, had our rum ration and then lunch. Then the treasure hunt started with a taunting letter and a cryptic clue from our ever-absent captain William Morgan. Soon we were back on the water, chasing clues and ultimately the treasure. We had a grand time, despite the fickle wind.
Back at camp we struck the Colors, then relaxed around the fire and ate dinner. All too soon, Holly, Kristin and I were to be ferried back across the lagoon to our cars. Pia, Monique and Mary stayed overnight, and were probably unmercifully put to work breaking camp the next morning.
