Navionics has Second Rock, Third Rock, Passage Rock and the Sisters. From memory it is either Passage or Third Rock.

tub rock
A lot of people think its passage rock because from shore it kind of looks like a boat. But after fifty years of living in the area and spending a lot of time on the water i have always called third rock tubs. passage rock is named for the thats where the boat used to come in hence the lead lights, although i have seen the cray boats come in through the gap between passage and tubs (third rock). A lot of people used to call the sisters The Seven Sisters, but there is only three of them. Safety bay was thought of a safe anchorage for the early sailing boats going up and down the coast. There used to be a bay where the nuns convent is now, you can go on line and there will be a map showing it or go to the museam if its still open ??
