We only had a short motor to St. Bees Island.

Soon Refuge Bay and Scaw Fell was getting smaller.

Ahead, between St. Bees and Keswick we could see one of the anchorages.

We left the isolated danger marker behind – a very popular spot for fishing.

We headed over to anchor behind the yacht on the left of the group.

Soon settled, Bear launched Baby Beez.

Looking toward the bottom of St. Bees (on the left) and Keswick, it looks narrow but it is actually a deep, navigable channel.

Looking out the way we had come. Time to go ashore for a bimble.
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL BARELY A RIPPLE FELT
