We initially pulled into this area with one other boat, but they left soon after we anchored. That left us with the only ones in this cove for the day. It was a calm day too, so we finally were able to get some drone footage. If you are looking at the website from a computer (not a phone) you'll notice the home page has a little sneak peak of the videos to come.
This picture below is looking off the stern of our boat. Its the best back yard we've had so far.
There was a little hiking trail off to the side of one of the beaches, so we were able to explore a little along the trail too. This beach below was the beach with the hiking trail. The water was so shallow we had to just leave the dingy about 50 from shore and wade through the water to get to the beach.
We found another hidden beach in this cove and decided to make it ours for a couple of hours and have lunch. We felt so secluded and free here. The weather was the best it had been so far on the trip.
Almost no wind and the only ones around. Great stop for drinks sanwiches!
The picture below shows our boat in the background. The only other boat in the cove.
On one side of the cove there were a bunch of rocks that were submerged in a way that looked man-made. Once the tide went down, we discovered an old fashion fish trap. The rocks are set such that fish come into the area during high tide, but then when the tide goes out, they are trapped behind the wall.
As beautiful as this place was, the Northers came back late in the day and were forecasted to be 30+ knots for several days. This meant back to work on the boat. We had left a lot of projects undone just because we ran out of time. This day was spent wiring the rest of our solar panels up. To do that, we had to pull all of the ceiling panels off. It was hard to do work with the back yard looking so inviting, but at least we were able to work on the boat in an exotic place instead of a marina. Once done, we were generating lots of solar power. Almost 2200 watts of solar is now wired up and working for us.
