The trail back traverses the center of the island.
The island has only inches of soil covering the solid rock. Consequently, plants have little to anchor themselves to.

The tide is out, so we had to slide the dinghy down the seaweed covered rocks in order to get out to our boat.
At low tide the rock ledge that blocks the entrance to the Mud Hole is obvious.
