Western Islands.
- your boat, making for some very memorable
photos!
On this trip, we spend the afternoon
dinghy'ing the circumference of the harbour,
exploring all the little inlets, and
then climbing Harbour Island hill - which
is much harder than it looks!
Not to be missed is a dinghy trip to
nearby Double Top Island to see the lighthouse,
operational since 1895. It's amazing
that at one point in history, a keeper
lived on this slab of rock from spring until
late fall, managing the lantern so the commercial
traffic could safely pass by the
dangerous shoals.
But by far the most magical part about
these islands are the sunsets. The true
beauty shines as the setting sun illuminates
the islands, washing the rocks in
warm shades of pink and gold. A time to
sit back, to take in the view and the sound
of the waves as they roll across that sweet
water to meet the rocky shoreline of the
Westerns.
After two beautiful evenings, the forecast
shows a slight change in winds so,
time to move on to our next destination
which not only provides some better
protection but also has some unique
Franklin Island.
and delicious options for the " foodies "
onboard - including the four-legged kind!
A " CROWN " JEWEL
Franklin Island, named after the
Arctic explorer Rear Admiral Sir John A
Franklin, is quite large and diverse. The

island is about 5.5 km long by 3 km wide,
with a jagged coastline making it perfect
for paddling, gunkholing and exploring.
Other than a few cottages towards the
northern end, the island is mostly Crown
land so going ashore - or tying to shore - is
not a problem and expeditions passing by
