Yesterday was mild and 60 so we took the boat out for a ride. My wife had read about Wicket's Island in Onset harbor so we headed over to check it out. It is a small island which sits in the middle of onset harbor and used to have a home on it and has a small dock that you can tie up to and explore. Even though the temps weren't what I would call warm, we found a couple already at the dock, the guy in a pair of shorts and no shirt hanging out with his feet in the water.

We went up to the top and found the old cellar hole and took a few pics

Then we tried walking around the shore but found our path blocked by a bunch of trees which have come down from erosion. There is a small sandy beach and it had incredibly soft sand and we hung out there and let the kids play for an hour.

On the way home we rode a bit in the canal, going slowly I used my side scan near a couple of the telephone poles #s to check out the bottom contour and look for rock piles. No bird action, but I was still marking a fair amount of fish.

This trip may be the last for me this year, after the clock change this weekend, I will get out of work in the dark and the next few weekends we will be in Maine roaming the woods.

Taking the boat to go explore an island, that's cool!

We have two man-made islands here, but they are off-limits to the public. The old quarantine islands from days gone by, Hoffman and Swinburne Islands. Today it's a bird sanctuary.
