I went out to Brooks Island! It’s an island in the bay that is notoriously hard to get to. I’ve been looking at it for 30 years and I finally made it out there with a class I’m taking. You’ve got to go out with a park ranger, and the fact that it’s surrounded by shallow water and lots of mud makes it that much harder.
It was worth it.

Oh, lucky you!
Very lucky. Also determined, in a slow kind of way.
How did you get out there? Figuring some sort of flat bottom boat.
HI! Not good at checking these messages yet. It was a whalewatching type boat — 2 decks, help 25 people, not big but not small. It anchored offshore and we took a little inflatable motor boat (held about 8) in. The caretaker had had a flatbottomed boat in, but that was not great because the bay has pretty strong wnds.
