This anchorage is at the west end of the first part of the long unnamed bay at the east end of the island. The islet on the photo is shown on chart 5052. The entrance to the inner bay is shoal.

Kikkertavak Island

This is another great place to go hiking.

Nain is the most northerly coastal town in Labrador. The Voisey Bay nickel mine is nearby. In 2000 there was still no agreement  on starting mine operations. There is also a quarry which exports Labradorite, a beautiful turquoise rock made into expensive floors and tables.

The harbour is wide open to the east and the wharf can be very uncomfortable. The best local anchorage is in Kauk Harbour a couple of miles south.

Amity Harbour

A good anchorage directly opposite Mugford Tickle. I filled fresh water containers here but the stream close to the shore is brackish
