Prinses Mia tows Primadonna past Southern Cross, another boat that has homesteaded in the most protected and deepest water part of Oriental’s anchorage.

Primadonna is towed past The Shire, the pink boat that has homesteaded in the anchorage since the spring. Its owner said in September that he’d move to make room for snowbirds heading south, but has not. It later emerged that his plans for moving were to specifically anchor up the creeks, and he says he’s not been able to clear the bridge.

Prinses Mia tows Primadonna from the anchorage.

The two boats turn to port and pass lighted red marker #8 at the end of Oriental’s breakwater.

After a year in Oriental’s harbor, Primadonna and her French crew depart Oriental’s anchorage around 7:05a Tuesday, under tow from the Dutch boat, Prinses Mia.
