Where were you in June,1960? I don't remember either. On Otter Island over 1,600 Boy Scouts and leaders were doing their thing at a Camporee. The island has recovered. |

| Of course before the Scouts
came, fish houses were located on the island, logging was done - the last time in
the 1950's - and you may find sign of those activities. There is at least one private
"dwelling" left on Otter. The only good place to anchor on Otter is on either side of the sand bar at its' south end. Some of the older printed guides to the Apostles indicate there is no dock here. Not true. A rather new dock really opens Otter for camping and hiking. Don't tell anybody! What we're going to do now is head south and skirt past the north east shore of Oak Island before sailing west again. There is a nice standing rock down there, and we won't see it when we come back on the south side of Oak later. |
