Notes

The western end of the bay, then! 21*55.804S - 166*38.595E - With the wind staying below 5 Kts, there was little risk of rolling.  BAM! The anchor dropped through 8 meters of rust-color water, sunk into the earthy bottom, and just stuck there.  Lovely anchorage indeed, and not a soul around… no fish either… but a good overnight stop in Pure Nature.

- The sandy beach on the eastern side of the bay is private: no anchoring there!

- The southern part of the bay seems to offer great protection from the Trades, but as we tried to set the anchor, we only bit into coral rubble… not good!

It is very protected but as the sun goes down it lives up to its name.
