THE LITTLE COVE at the northern tip of Greens Island, just opposite Old Harbor, is unnamed on the chart, but locally it is called Reindeer Cove. This is the base of the Atlantic Challenge, an international experiment in learning and cooperation. The Challenge's reproduction French gigs may be in the cove, and a yurt or a teepee may be ashore.

Anchorages, Moorings. Anchor in a comfortable depth just inside the north end of the wharf. Holding ground is good in mud, but there is some kelp. There is good protection here from prevailing summer winds.

Getting Ashore. Row to the granite wharf and clamber up (quite a process at low tide). The clearing next to the wharf is a delightful spot for a picnic.
