THE little gunkhole of Crow Cove is on the west coast of Islesboro, just south of Seal Harbor. True to form, the crows are still there to greet you in the morning and so are the seagulls and ospreys. In the evening the sun sets over the Camden Hills while you are lulled by the distant cries of a thousand herring gulls on Flat Island to the west.

The cove is extremely well protected except from the west, and you should have a restful night under almost any conditions. The Islesboro airport, serving small private planes, is a bit close, as is the main island road, but neither presents major problems.

Approaches. Flat Island, off the west side of Islesboro, is low and grassy, with only a few trees. Crow Cove is almost due east of Flat Island.
Keep centered and run past the moored boats toward the eastern marshes. Both shores are reasonably bold except for some rocks making out from the southern shore.
