I see it. Looks like a reasonably speedy sailing trip depends on the prevailing breeze and perfect weather. I may have to hitch a stinkpot ride to get over there. (And steer-clear of "The Witches").

I hadn't thought of being so close behind the stinkpot's fumes. I'd have to ride in it.
Because of no wind and threatening weather, I once accepted a tow from a Jet-Ski.
There is no worse ignominy!
Fortunately, the tow was only a ¼-mile, and I don't think anyone ashore saw it.
BTW: Why do architects universally adopt sailing as a sport?

My 1994 map shows "Welcome", and I think you're correct regarding the "morph". The Wilcombs have disappeared down the memory hole, but "Welcome Island" would help to sell the property.
