After our
stop at Minstrel Island, we continued through The Blow Hole where Lagoon Cove
Marina is situated on the southeastern end. Lagoon Cove is one of the most
charming and popular stops in the Broughton Island Group. The Ryan family
purchased the marina in 2016 and have continued to make improvements to its
infrastructure, while maintaining its original charm and character.
Retracing our
steps back through The Blow Hole, we turned westward into Clio Channel. We
checked out a few anchorages along the northwest side of W. Cracroft Island,
including the space behind Bend Island. There is room for one to two boats to
fit here comfortably, however, the space may be filled with crab pots. The
bottom depths are not as uniform as the charts might indicate. There is an
outer and inner area, with a deep hole between. The inner area is nice and flat
for anchoring.

Next down the line is Potts Lagoon, where a logging company
operated for several years. Potts Lagoon is once again a popular anchorage
area, thanks to the removal of the logging operation, which has opened up more
space for recreational boaters. Potts Lagoon has two main coves that offer good anchorage.

The dock that the
logging company left behind may be a nice option to tie-up the dinghy for a hike on the old logging roads.
