South Benjamin Island Cove – Three Days of Peace and Quiet
South Benjamin Island Cove – Time to Relax!
It’s amazing how we can spend a few days on the hook and not get bored. At South Benjamin Island cove, we both had chores to do, organizing our belongings on the boat, we swam in the unseasonably warm water, played games, read books, cooked, ate, and just plain relaxed. This is our big trip of the summer, we’re taking it well ahead of our son’s wedding in September. Things will be crazy when we get home, so we are enjoying the restful calm right now. Can you think of a better place than South Benjamin Island anchor?
Going to shore to walk around on the smooth rock formations then hike up the hill for photographs and the amazing view.
It was hot during the day so we used our towels to make some shade over the cockpit area.
Looks like you had a wonderful time! Such a beautiful area at the Benjamins, Bay of Islands,Whitefish Falls, Little Current, Killarny, Covered Portage Cove, and more! Been traveling up that way my whole life as my family before me and now my children as well!
Jerimiah, we had a great time. We’re a little slow in getting the posts up of the trip because our son got married this summer, still trying to catch the blog up to be current. Thanks for the note.
I came across your site from a boating magazine (BoatUS?!) and have really enjoyed following your ‘trip’ to date. We have been to some of the places you’ve written about: Friday Harbor on our way to the Anacortes TrawlerFest; Florida because that’s where we grew up and boat,… We used Labor Day (2011) and traveled from our place in Chicago to explore Michigan’s west coast starting in Traverse City. What a great town to visit. I look forward to reading more from you. Thanks for sharing.
Richard, thanks for the note and for following our blog. It helps make all the work of it worthwhile. Maybe our paths will cross on the Great Lakes sometime.
