This is the largest island within the Broken Group. We had a very short motor to this new anchorage, but it took a lot of planning to avoid rocks and other navigational hazards. The bay had come highly recommended by s/v "North Star". We had a Humpback whale surface just inside the bay entrance while we were anchoring. After settling in we took the kayaks and went to shore for a hike to Meares Bluff on the eastern shoreline. Paul discovered a sea cave as he explored further around the point. The pictures from this adventure will be posted when we get wifi.

Entrance to the sea cave on the south side of Effingham Island. |

The ferns were prolific along the roof of the opening to the cave. |

Paul worked his way back into the cave. Very scary! |

We thought the play on light made this photo look really cool. |

There was a high road and a low road. We took the high road to avoid the mud on the low road. It was much faster to travel this way. |
