This is "Ciel Trap" in Acadia National Park, off of Isle au Haut. We are anchored in the innermost cove, having reached here through a very narrow slot, safely navigated only at times around high water. (Ten foot+ tides here.) We came here with a friend and his American Tug and dinghied ashore. The only footpath was created by deer. The vegetation was gorgeous but thick: mossy, evergreens, low blueberry bushes, ... and ticks. We found this spot years ago in our Whaler and never forgot the beauty and solitude. Our friend had tried to get in last year. After "bumping", succeeded and memorized a safe route. On this day, seas were 1 foot, and conditions were perfect for the attempt. We celebrated with homemade zucchini soup. Life sure is tough.
