Mana Island (Again) Photo Log

August 3-7, 2015

Mana is a small island not too far north from Musket Cove. There is a narrow, shallow pass, but with good visibility it’s really no problem. The weather wasn’t going to make it easy to move around a lot during mom’s visit, so we thought this would be a good place to say for a few days since it is a flat anchorage, and it has a beach and a village.
