Hotham Island (East)

Location: North Channel,
Lat / Lon: N 46° 07.951' / W 082° 14.425'
Depth: 9 +
Description:
This a well-protected spot to anchor. Room for 8-10 boats, the number that were there when I visited. A couple who own a cottage on this cove, Norm and Elaine, may invite boaters anchored in the cove to a late afternoon/early evening gathering on their deck. They did while I was there and it was a lovely gathering organized by lovely people. Elaine kayaked to each boat to extend the invitation. Take no food and BYOB.

I did not attempt to go to shore, except to land at the dock of the cottage mentioned below. I did not see any obvious place to land and the property surrounding the cove is private.

Use your charts as you head into this anchorage. We anchored in 5' of water. Good holding with a mud bottom. There is room for several boats in the anchorage. Good protection from wind. This is one of our favorite anchorages.
