About Cooper's Point, Queen Charlotte Sound

We dropped in well offshore and swam over a silty/sandy bottom to a reef with sparse encrusting life, nudibranchs, ghostly shoals of fish, kelp, and 5m vis. We spent the night at anchor in a bay just to the S, and were blessed with a beautiful golden sunset.
