Yes, 2 hours. We eventually found the guy collecting mooring fees in the area near Cistern Point. Asked him if anyone told him they were moving - he pointed us toward a monohull and we pulled up and asked if they were indeed leaving and if we could just hang out near the ball in our dinghy until they left. No problem. After having been beaten to the ball by other boats in the 2 hours, we tied up to the ball and waited. People were literally going boat to boat asking people if they were leaving.
