Think of the Broken Group as a an archipelago that fills a rectangle the size of Orcas Island. The rectangle is a little taller than it is wide. Rotate the rectangle 45° so one corner points north and the opposite corner points south. Last night's anchorage, Reeks Island Bight, was in the east corner of that rotated rectangle.
Today we made our way through narrow channels and between small islands . We proceeded from the east corner toward the north corner where Hand Island lies. Between Reeks and Hand, Nettle Island sits. We're anchored with a stern tie to shore in a small cove called Nettle Island Nook.
The nook, its surrounding islets, rocks and passageways, make good targets for exploration by dinghy or paddle boards. We spent this afternoon doing exactly that.
Then returned to the boat with ample appetites. Kay made sausage and spinach soup for dinner tonight. Only the second time I've used that recipe, first time in a standard pressure cooker. It was an excellent way to top off an excellent day.
