The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.

Walk to Frazer Peaks. You can choose to summit one or both peaks - Magog and Gog. We went to Magog and it was stunning. Incredible views over the island, including Gog, Seal Creek (Cooks Arm) and the islands off the southwest coast. The track is easy to lose so pay close attention. In the open areas piles of stones mark the route and once you go down into the flats orange/pink tape is used. If you lose the track follow the ridge at first then head towards the Scotsman (unusual rock formation near Magog).
All weather anchorage with good holding in 3-5 metres.
Short walk up to the ridgeline with nice views. The track starts near a large boulder on the shore. Follow the blue markers and make note of where you emerge into the open for an easy return.
Good all weather anchorage. Take extreme care navigating in as the point and islands both have rocks off them submerged at high tide and our charts were out showing us 50m or so inland when at anchor. The anchorage itself is only 3m. Attach a sternline to the tree next to the bare patch of rock on the western wall. We also put out a secondary anchor so were solid in all wind directions allowing us to use this as a base to explore South Pegasus from for a good few days.
Excellent all weather anchorage, stern-line to tree on northern side for best protection. Freshwater is available at the small beach on the north side half way down the arm.
