Navy Cove.

General.    Not visited by boat but did check it out by foot. The remains of the jetty shown on the chart are still visible but are now just a few stumps on the shore. Being close to the end of a long valley gusts of wind coming off the mountains could be stronger than at Casco Cove. This cove is closer to the manned loran station than Casco Cove.

Reported.    July 2003 by Fine Tolerance

Charts.    NOAA 16421, NOAA 16423, large scale chart NOAA 16432.

Approach.    Although this anchorage is at the head of Massacre Cove you should experience no problems when using the correct chart but as we have stated, we did not sail into this cove with Fine Tolerance.

Anchoring.    While we have never anchored here this anchorage has been visited by two boats that we know of. One drew 1.8 meters, the other was a centerboard drawing 0.8 meters.

Points of Interest.  This is the closest safe anchorage to leave your boat should you decide to hike up to Engineers Hill. World War ll relics are lying around everywhere and the main WW II base appears to have been in this area.
