The long view -- we're on East Anacapa looking west. The first Island is actually West Anacapa. The Island behind that is Santa Cruz. The buildings in the foreground (the only ones on the Island -- include the Ranger's house on the right, the maintenance building/ visitor center, and in the back the water tower -- now covered by a building to disuade people from shooting at it from passing boats.

The original lense of the lighthouse is stored onsite in a small museum -- well worth seeing.

Amazing birding on Anacapa -- East Anacapa is the major Western Gull rookery while West Anacapa is the primary Brown Pelican rookery.

The Ranger's house. He was happy to see us -- they serve one week on one week off. And not many visitors this winter.

The anchorage outside Landing Cove: 50 feet of depth with a lot of surge. At the cliff depth is about 35 feet. If there is any weather at all it is not a safe anchorage.

Landing Cove -- East Anacapa Island. Once anchored you row to the landing, climb the ladder, and pull your dinghy up behind you. Now, 150+ steps to get on top of the Island 200 feet above!
