27,2015<br \/>\nIf you have a bucket list of where you want to go in a boat, put the Benjamin Islands at the top.  Or maybe in the top along with New York Harbor and Mackinac Island. But it is definitely up there, not to be missed.  Pink rocks, blue green water, blue sky, green trees, with an occasional seagull.  Of course, since it is a beautiful spot, there will be other boats there.  We arrived around noon, and there was only one other boat anchored near South Benjamin.  By dinner time there were over a dozen boats.  But it is a big area.  I have heard that 50 boats are not uncommon in the peak of summer.  Don&#8217;t miss it!  The highlight of North Channel!<br \/>\nNight anchored off South Benjamin Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday August 27,2015 If you have a bucket list of where you want to go in a boat, put the Benjamin Islands at the top.
