On Friday, 4.7.23, we decided to dinghy around the corner and have lunch at the infamous Willy T’s. It is an old, 2-story boat that has been converted into a restaurant and bar located in the Bight on Norman Island. We were the first ones there on Friday, so it was easy for us to find a spot on the dinghy dock. We decided to sit on the second floor, overlooking the water.
From this vantage point we were able to see the entire Bight anchorage. There are so many boats in this bay, most of which are on mooring balls. On the second floor there is a sign that says “No Jumping, No Diving” which was ignored the entire time that we were there. They actually had an outside platform so that it was easy for people to jump off. Willy T’s was kind enough to put a ladder at the end of the dinghy dock so that people who jump off are able to easily get back on the boat – how thoughtful. When we were ready to leave, the dinghy dock was filling up. Tenders were already rafting. Soon they would be several dinghies deep. I can’t imagine how crowded it gets in the evening. We were glad that we went with the family crowd at lunchtime.
