About noon today after passing through “Hole in the Wall”, we pulled into the Octopus Islands Marine Park, a beautiful set of rocky islands that has been set aside for protection and also provides excellent protected anchorage sites. We dropped anchor and took the tender to a nearby island that is still in private ownership. On the island is a small open cabin (no doors and windows, just the frames) that has been vacant for the last twenty years. It’s now sort of a “driftwood museum” in which hundreds of boaters have left their mark in the way of folk art signs made of driftwood and “treasures” found on the beach. Some are quite elaborate and show real creative talent. We included one here, and when we have time we’ll upload more into Picasa for those who are interested. It’s wonderful that a place like this could evolve over so many years and yet remain free of vandalism.
