THIS little cleft in the western shore of Grand Manan Channel was a favorite of yachtsman and island collector Tom Cabot. In the past, it was possible to bring a deep-draft cruising boat over the shallow entrance and into The Pool, and it may still be. Haycock, however, is not a gunkhole for the faint-of-heart.

The scale of the chart is woefully inadequate, and those who attempt to feel their way in do so, I suspect, as much for bragging rights as for beauty. And they do so at their own risk. Even Cabot managed to get his 50-foot Avelinda “hung by the tail” when her skeg got caught in a crevice of a cliff on a falling tide. You would do better in a kayak.
