- Cyclone season
- Picked off the satellite view only: a deep-looking, mangrove-lined bay with creeks to tie into, almost enclosed (land on about 13 of 16 bearings), less than a mile west of the Jinjo mission. Depth, bottom and the way in are unknown. Ask at Jinjo and look at it by dinghy before relying on it.
