The Benjamins 8-26-11













This beautiful harbor is formed by the northeastern side of South Benjamin and the southwestern side of North Benjamin Islands. It is encircled by a phalanx of rocky shoals and pink granite cliffs which gives the area character as well as a mystique. The Benjamins are on every North Channel boater’s list of to-do anchorages and it’s easy to see why it makes the list as one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world.

With northeast winds coming tomorrow, we knew we would have to move so we really enjoyed today. We tried to hike to a hidden cove last year but lost the trail somewhere but were determined this year to find it. We tramped through the overgrown forest and up steep cliffs with Mollie in the lead and found it!

It was great to meet up with so many boaters we had met at the Rendezvous. Everyone is making plans to start heading back home soon which makes each of us savor the moments of today.
