Mistake Island - No Mistakes in the nav coming here! ~ CookingFood.Org

Foggy but cool exploring Mistake Island

We spent two glorious days relaxing and exploring at Roque Island and then decided we should move on for a bit more adventure. Heading out slowly through the thorofare between the islands was quite exciting; we had been through in the dinghy and were on a rising mid tide and had nothing to worry about - the lobster pots seem to mark the route through the rocks....

Doesn't look like we can get out to the ocean here!

Looking through a shallow gap - not for us

Then we dodged our way through rocks and pots into Mistake Harbour and anchored off the island - this was a wild spot with big boulders and small outcrops protecting us from the Ocean but at high tide it looked like we were open - the tide was springs because of the full moon and around 4m range (12 feet). At first we weren't sure we'd stay but it was just so beautiful and we became comfortable with it, then the fog came down and the tide went down to expose the rocks we had managed to avoid with Andrew's very careful navigation.
