Just inside the mouth of Lisianski Inlet from Cross Sound you will find a tiny cove on your charts. Mite cove is an acceptable anchorage under most weather conditions in a very convenient location. From here it is easy access to the spectacular scenery and excellent fishing of Cross Sound. We have used this little cove as an overnight anchorage between days of fishing in the sound and the open Pacific beyond.

There is really only room for two or three vessels to anchor comfortably in this small cove. We have seen fishing boats anchor just inside the entrance. Caution must be taken in setting the anchor and judging swing as the cove is fairly narrow. The bottom is rocky and holding is only moderate.
A couple hours travel further into Lisianski Inlet will bring you to the town of Pelican. A few services, such as fuel, can be found here. The town has seen some hard times recently with the closing of the cannery. As a result do not expect a wide range of services to be available. There is piped water to the boat harbor.
The community of Elfin Cove is tucked behind a small island near South Inian Pass. This picturesque harbor is well worth a visit.
