And you can walk to shore to gather berries or perhaps snare a squirrel or two for supper. When the feeble sun peeks above the horizon at about 10:00 am, there is usually enough warmth to thaw the anchorage freeing us from the ice and allowing us a few hours to find another idyllic spot for the next night.  |
the problem with that is the bears can easily walk out to visit you. especially if they see you are picking their berries.
Anchoring is almost impossible due to the huge slabs of granite that form the bottom. The only time your anchor will hold is if you get lucky by catching a fluke in a crevice. Then it becomes wedged and you can't get it out.
