Copeland Islands











These island are about an hours sail north of Lund. Most are a marine park with many anchorages though room for only one or two boats in them. It was quite busy with boats looking for spots to anchor or just cruising through. With tidal ranges of 15 ft you have to know depths and tidal times. This also affects your anchor scope and all sort of other things. Twenty-five feet from shore my depth sounder registered 65 feet but I was getting antsy because if my anchor let go, I would be on the rocks quickly. The wind was also blowing me that way. I moved the boat and anchored further away and felt a little better and had no problems. Here are some pictures from my time there
