Since we had to raft we wanted to choose the most protected anchorages we could find. We selected Haswell Bay and entered at high tide. We went to the head of the anchorage through a very shallow rock invested shelf. We watched a mother Bald Eagle and her eaglet interacting. We had a great Potluck and enjoyed the evening on Forever and Ever. In the morning the tide was about mid way in when we attempted to exit. Both boats bumped the bottom and since Seventh Heaven's keel is longer we had to wait for Forever and Ever to get through then Gary jumped in his dinghy "Amen" and guided us on a winding path through the kelp with sometimes only inches between us and the bottom. It was a very "challenging" experience!
We continued on to Hotsprings island. This is the site where we saw the most people.
There were groups of kyackers waiting when we rafted off the beach. The Watchman handled it very well even though they had to limit our time to one hour. We still had a sense of privacy and the hot soothing waters felt good on our weary bones.
The source of the water is unknown and it is not ocean salt water. There are many theories on how the water surfaces on this island.
