Jonathan,

The V-shaped cove between Holland Pt. and Purdy Pt. is known as Eagle's 
Nest or Eagle Cove. It's a convenient and popular place to anchor in the 
summer.

In the fall, especially when storms might be expected, Red House Cove is 
more protected. It can get too hot due to poor air ventilation in the 
summer.

Watch the lump sticking out into Sillary Bay south of mark "3". I've 
seen it catch people by surprise.
