The guide

Position
10°34.71'S 151°16.86'E
Notes
Check depth over the reef. Good holding if you find sand between the corals; a bit rolly at high tide. Village of ~15 people, very welcoming - lobster, bananas and pawpaw for children's clothes, fishing gear and T-shirts.

This guide is a set of personal cruising notes shared in good faith. Information can be out of date or wrong, and positions can be out by hundreds of metres. It is not a substitute for official charts and notices, your own eyes, local knowledge, or professional medical, legal or customs advice. You use it at your own risk: the skipper alone is responsible for the safety of the vessel and everyone on board, and the authors accept no liability for any loss, injury or damage arising from its use.
