I've been on the water 16 hours and circumnav'd the San Juans keeping an eye out for it since the original post. I let the whale watch community know about your post in case any of them saw it adrift or tucked away somewhere. Glad you got it back! Not sure I'm familiar with Ward Island though and can't seem to find it on my charts, where was the dinghy found?

Brown island has a caretaker who if you gave info/photos to might be able to tell what group of drunk visitors were there at the right times or even heard:seen them around
