San Miguel Island We explored San Miguel again in Sept. 2007 Cuyler Harbor on San Miguel Island this season. Mouse over the San Miguel chart near the name Cuyler Harbor and you'll got right to the spot. You'll find a chart that is as current as the date at the top (pretty darned current) and pictures of landmarks that you can use to wend your way to the heart of anchorage in safety. San Miguel is "way the hell out there," but well worth the trip ... but make sure you've got a good handle on the weather forecasts and have a bail out plan just in case it turns nasty. Cuyler is the one place that almost everyone agrees can be a challenge. It can also be absolutely gorgeous and a fabulous experience. Be not deterred by those who refer to the area near Pt. Bennett as Shark Park. The big danger up there is the shoal water. Of course, if you decide to swim with the seals, you might find where the "Park" got its name.
