Cove/Theories

Theories about
Cove

Theories may be removed if ...
Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Theories

The Others do not know about the cove, as the sailboat was there for quite some time and they never knew of it.
In "The Other 48 Days", Mr. Eko was leading Michael, Sawyer, and the tail section passengers along the beach and decided to take everyone inland rather than follow the path which looked as if it were leading to the cove. Perhaps he knew that the Elizabeth boat was there or maybe something else?
- When Eko lead the Tailies there, Desmond had already left the Island with the Elizabeth.
The Others do know about the cove, but never thought a boat would be there. We have never seen any proof that, besides Kelvin, that anybody knew about Desmond capsizing near the island. As far as they would know, Kelvin was in the Swan.
- Except The Others have access to The Pearl so they definately know Desmond was in The Swan. The only thing that could refute this would be if The Others somehow only found The Pearl after 815 crashed, which doesn't make sense.
