Well, why couldn't you stop there and take a walk ashore to learn more?
Or
maybe you are not confident in maneuvering your boat under sail well
enough
to enter and dock at new harbors..

It would have been fine with me, but everyone wanted to head back.

I like docking under sail--I learned to dock under sail when I was 9.

there was little chance of finding dock space at PJ. My club has a

sailing, and
have no place for an outboard.

These are all great suggestions Joe. You should follow them yourself.
