Great night at Seven Fathoms! Cabin was in great shape besides a broken damper on the stove.

Excellent spot for a relaxing get-away. Watched 8 river otters feeding as a 'pack' right off the cabin.

We had a great two nights here. I would recommend packing as light as possible because the flats prevent a drop-off right next to the cabin. There is a beautiful estuary and the cabin is kept up well. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
