That rock is between Sooke Basin and it's various marinas and a well known 
fishing destination just off of Secretary Island.  At certain tides the rock 
lies below the surface at the same depth of  most propellers.  Racing back 
with the coolers full of fish and bellies full of beer many fishermen have 
left their mark on the rock - thus the name.
