Our next main harbor destination is Killarney, but while in Little Tub we learn about a great anchorage spot at Club Island. It's on the way to Killarney, so we all decide to meet up there later that morning. Tammy and I swing out to the east to go by the east side of Flowerpot Island. These formations are carved over hundreds of thousands of years by the constant advance and retreat of the glaciers (We learned that in the museum!).Club Island is only about 35 statute miles to the north and we arrive late AM. The anchorage is a secluded little cove accessible only by narrow entrance from the east. Wow, what a great spot! The water were we were anchored was about 15 feet deep
, but you could make out very distinct features on the bottom. All four boats rafted up and we spent the rest of the day snacking on appetizer
s, taking rides in the dinghy and canoe, and taking short swims in the 70° water. Not far from where we anchored was an old submerged wreck of some sort. Not much was left, and it was hard to tell just what kind of vessel it had been, but we dove on it and took some photos! It didn't take us long to decide to spend the night. We enjoyed a gourmet meal aboard, and went to bed under the stars. It doesn't get any better!
