(The east bay.) It was raining when we anchored here and as we couldn’t see much through the rain it seemed desolate. When it cleared there was a bit more about but most of it was inaccessible – like towns in the distance, just too far away (can you tell I’m getting just that bit desperate for good provisions?). There was a pontoon on the north shore just above the anchorage that was possibly a restaurant pontoon. The holding was good but it was very shallow and we couldn’t get as far in as we would have liked. The wind came from the west overnight and made it very rolly and uncomfortable because of not being able to get far enough in. The bay is wider than it looks in the pilot and the surrounding land is flat so there isn’t necessarily the best protection. The west inlet is buoyed, which probably closes it off.
