Pickering had been recommended to us in the event that we couldn’t get into the Barred Islands. It also looked like a generally good anchorage with protection from the south and west to manage some potential weather blowing through. Petronella came along and we had the anchorage to ourselves.
Helena was nursing a bum knee, but John was game for a hike ashore. It took us a while to find the unmarked trail, but it was worth it. Moss blanketed either side of a narrow path winding its way through the trees. Best of all, there were almost no mosquitoes. The huge chunks of granite that we climbed through were so fetching to behold.
We had cocktails (can’t call them sundowners when you can’t see the sun for all the fog) aboard Petronella, and then headed back for a quiet dinner on Kalyra.
