Some still require completing(!) and, now based in NZ, and no longer voyaging, I don’t get much new information to add. However, when I was sailing all over the world, I was always very glad of information about the more remote parts of the world, however out of date, so have not closed down this blog. I hope some people still find it useful.

Or any other summer for that matter!<br />
<br />
<div>
Going S from Banks Peninsula and its many
harbours (the biggest being Akaroa - translated from
Maori as 'Long Harbour'), you can count the decent
havens on just a few fingers: Timaru (rather
industrial), Oamaru (utterly not recommended unless
you have excellent and up-to-date local knowledge),
Dunedin, the Nuggets (a peninsula one can shelter
behind), Waikawa (entrance as per Oamaru), perhaps
Tautuku, and certainly Bluff . Bluff can have
serious tides, as the entrance drains a large
estuary. Call Mary on VHF channel 61 or 63 to get up
to the minute recommendations. Hey, even (maybe even
mostly) the fishermen check in. It is the smart
thing to do. Once out of the shipping channels one
can go lots of places to anchor, though with three
metre (10 ft) tides (as I experienced) make sure you
have clear water at low tide. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Bluff is famous for being both the furthest S
one can go on 'mainland' NZ (which is actually Slope
Pt, a few miles to the E) and for its seafood,
especially its oysters. Blue cod, crayfish and paua
(abalone near relative) are most often available,
and the oysters during their own somewhat short
season. If you like oysters and happen to be in
Bluff when it is season, then don't be shy. All of
NZ eagerly awaits the oyster season, and the smart
eaters move fast. Bluff is also a good place to get
repairs done, and avail one's self of safety gear
(life raft, epirb, &c) because this is where the
fishermen get theirs. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
If one goes S from Bluff, then Rakiura/Stewart
Island is the next port of call. Get the latest
Foveaux Strait conditions and weather from
Fisherman's Radio before you cross the Strait, as
conditions can change for the seriously worse almost
instantly. One can also get flat calm conditions, as
we did last time we went there. Even Cape Horn must
have calms, one imagines. Stewart Island's waters
are strewn with rocks; navigators pay attention! The
nearest harbour/port/anchorage is Half Moon Bay,
which sits before the settlement of Oban. Halfmoon
Bay is protected from anything except a screaming
NW'ly. Most things are available here, often not
cheaply since transport is not inexpensive. In a
small settlement such as Oban there are many
'the's', the foodstore, the pub, the wharf, &c.
Yes, one can get lucky and tie up briefly to the
wharf for taking on crew/passengers or water, but
ask at the ferry dock first. At the 4 Square variety
market one can obtain food, wine and beer (at
surprisingly affordable prices) and other
often-requested supplies. Both diesel and petrol and
LPG are available at the petrol station. It seems
that the only negatives are the prices... and the
sandflies. The locals say that you get used to them
(the flies), but I always return from Stewart Island
with weeping bites where I scratched. Distances
around Oban are short, so you can walk from one end
of the town to the other in an easy pace. Don't let
that fool you though, because Stewart Island is a
big place; most of it in National Park. Close around
the corner going E is Paterson Inlet, big enough to
get rough conditions, but big enough also to have
numerous nooks and crannies. I can recommend Kaipipi
Bay (almost landlocked) for good shelter at the end
of a narrow entrance and having nice, heavy mud. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Dunedin has a wonderful harbour, the Otago
Harbour, that it sits at the head of. The harbour
offers excellent refuge from winds and seas of any
direction, though getting through the narrow and
somewhat winding entrance in a wind against tide
situation can be a bit rough. The bays offering the
best shelter are Portobello Bay (to the N of the
hamlet of Portobello, which is on the S side of the
Portobello peninsula), Latham Bay (directly at
Portobello) and Broad Bay (still on the E side but
another nautical mile further along). </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
The trouble with the Otago Harbour is that it is
tidal and shallow. At half to or after high water
any boat with 2m or less should have no trouble at
all... in the natural channels. Consult your chart
and depth sounder fairly often, though if you do run
aground most of the harbour is mud and sand so there
is generally nothing more than pride affected. This
is NOT the case with the main (W-side ship) channel
which is lined with rocks, beginning on its E side
where the middle ground cut/channel (from Kilgour Pt
to Grassy Pt) is. </div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Do remember that Dunedin is near enough to 46
degrees South latitude, hence it is often cold here.
We do get warm and even hot temperatures, but
Barbados it isn't. One nice thing about a higher
latitude is the long light one may have before
darkness. At summer's solstice one can still read
the paper outside at 2200.</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>
Dunedin was Aotearoa NZ's big city in the latter
half of the 19th century, mainly due to the
discovery of gold nearby in 1863 (+/-); and it
remains an important center of urban life, supply
and repair. The visitor's center in the Octagon
(center of the city) is helpful for general &
tourist information. For boat oriented things it
would probably be a good idea to contact Read Marine
(ph (03) 474 0871), who either have what you are
looking for or can direct you in your search. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following notes were made during a cruise to the islands in the summer of 1994-95 and are therefore in some ways out of date. At the time, we had no GPS, so the differences between chart datum and WGS 84 are not mentioned: judging from what other people have said, they can be considerable. Stick to traditional methods of navigation, once you are navigating to with half a mile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The<span style="font-style: italic;"> Antarctic Pilot</span>, while more appropriate to small vessels than is usually the case with Admiralty Pilots, still has some gaps. I hope that these notes will help fill these and help when planning a cruise in this area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When planning such a cruise, it is essential to appreciate that conditions in the Southern Ocean can be extreme and that you are very much on your own. Any yachtsmen sailing in these waters must be totally self-sufficient and prepared to extricate themselves from any eventuality. There are no rescue services and help should neither be sought nor expected from any of the few scientific bases. No-one should visit this area unless they are happy to sail without EPIRB or an SSB transmitter. Authorities are anyway unhappy at the thought of yachts sailing around this area without supervision: any request for assistance – however minor – is going to create more problems for those who follow on. It should also be remembered that it is impossible to replenish either stores or fuel.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before making a decision, you should read <span style="font-style: italic;">The TOTORORE Voyage</span> by Gerry Clark: it provides some very sobering accounts of how bad the conditions can be and no-one should venture down to this area without first reading this book. As well as being meticulously prepared for sailing in these latitudes, a yacht's ground tackle must be heavy and reliable. Hurricane force winds in apparently sheltered anchorages are not uncommon, and adequate ground tackle that will cope with these conditions is essential. This will mean that the anchors and chain might seem ridiculously oversized. Your life may well depend on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weather conditions can change with extreme rapidity and a barograph is an enormously useful aid to weather forecasting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The accuracy of available charts should not be relied upon. A number of rocks and shoals are unmarked and there are also large discrepancies in many areas between the position as indicated and that obtained by GPS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sketch charts included in these notes are just that. While every attempt was made to make them as accurate as possible, they should be treated with caution. This is not simply the usual disclaimer made in Cruising Guides – it is very genuine: most places were only ‘surveyed’ once and kelp, floating ice or poor conditions could all have contributed to errors being made. In anticipation of the metrication of the relevant charts, soundings are given in metres, to an approximate mean low water springs level. Heights are also in metres.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of necessity, <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span> features in nearly all the photographs of anchorages. Not only does this show where we anchored, but it also gives a scale to the picture.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: 180%; font-weight: bold;">South Orkney Islands</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These islands are 420 miles SW of South Georgia and 240 miles E of the South Shetland Islands. They lie along the latitude of 60°40'S and thus come under the limits of Antarctic Treaty. This being the case, yachtsmen wishing to visit the area should first get permission from the appropriate department of their Government, if they are signatories to the Antarctic Treaty. The islands are very mountainous, with glaciers and snow covering much of them, right down to sea level. The scenery is grand and austere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The islands were discovered on 6th December 1821, by George Powell, in the sealer, <span style="font-style: italic;">Dove</span>, and Nathaniel Palmer on the James Monroe. A few sealers visited the islands, but nowhere near the numbers that went to the South Shetlands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1903-04, Dr W S Bruce and other members of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition wintered in Scotia Bay, Laurie Island. Among other scientific work, they set up a meteorological station. The Argentine Meteorological Department took over the station in 1904 and have maintained it ever since: the oldest continuously occupied base in the Antarctic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A floating whaling factory started operations in the islands in 1907-8 and a shore-whaling factory was established in Factory Cove on Signy Island, in the early 1920's, but was only in operation for about four years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1947, a base was built at Factory Cove by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (the forerunner of British Antarctic Survey) and has been continuously manned since then.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-style: italic;">Awahnee</span>, with Bob and Nancy Griffiths and a New Zealand crew aboard, visited the islands in February 1971, and was the first yacht to do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Admiralty chart, 1775, covers the whole of the South Orkney group. Included on it are large-scale charts of several anchorages. The latest edition was printed in 1988. It is believed that a new, metric chart is in preparation, but it is not known when this will be issued.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Islands are covered by the <span style="font-style: italic;">Admiralty Antarctic Pilot, NP9</span>, Chapter 4, page 150.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note the caution on Chart 1775, that aerial photography in 1990-92 indicates that much of the coastline of the South Orkney Islands has a different shape from that charted and that off lying islands are in different positions. Additional inshore rocks and islands can also be identified on the photographs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">Ice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The islands are usually clear of pack ice in January, February and March. Obviously, conditions vary from year to year, but the months of December and April are also often clear of ice. However, on 23rd December 1991, the yacht <span style="font-style: italic;">Diva</span> had to clear out of Factory Cove and was nearly trapped by ice drifting in. There are usually many icebergs stranded inside the 100-fathom line, around the islands and this may well give a good indication of their proximity if approaching in thick weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bases</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two bases in the islands, the Argentine base on Laurie Island, ‘Orcades’ and the British Antarctic Survey base on Signy Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because few yachts visit this island, they are still something of a novelty to the base personnel and consequently, the welcome extended is much warmer than that apparently given to yachts at the more frequently visited bases near the Antarctic Peninsula.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sites of Special Scientific Interest</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are four SSSI areas in the South Orkney Islands. These are: Moe Island (SW of Signy Island), Lynch Island (in Marshall Bay, off Coronation Island), part of the N coast of Coronation Island and the southern part of Powell Island. Full details of these SSSIs can be found in Sally and Jérôme Poncet's booklet, <span style="font-style: italic;">Southern Ocean Cruising</span>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due to the greater density of the cold water, echo sounders will give a much-reduced performance. On <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span>, it was noted that the range was only two-thirds of normal. Low air temperatures may mean that some models will not function reliably.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a relatively low island, S of Coronation Island, with less snow and fewer glaciers than elsewhere in the South Orkneys and consequently, it is one of the few places where there is good walking ashore.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is probably the best anchorage on Signy Island and, next to Falkland Harbour on Powell Island, one of the best in the South Orkneys.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At Factory Cove, at the S of the bay, is the BAS base, which is built on the site of the old whaling factory. The base has been continuously manned since it was built in 1947, but 1995 was to be the last time it is used for the winter. Thereafter it was planned that there would be a smaller, summer only base, occupied from November until April, with only eight people in residence.</div>

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anchorage</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The chart of Borge Bay is on a very large scale and Factory Cove is, in fact, quite small. <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span> was anchored E of Knife Point, half way across the entrance in 7.5m. There was good shelter from all but the N and NE. Shelter from this direction could probably be obtained by anchoring S of the Mirounga Flats or E of Balin Point, at the N end of the bay.<span style="font-size: 130%;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remarks</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Russ Manning, the boatman at the base in 1994-95, Borge Bay can be subject to a NNE föhn wind, coming down from the Sunshine Glacier and that these can blow at up to full gale force. Föhn winds can generally be forecast by a ‘roll’ cloud over the Sunshine Glacier and a rise in temperature of a couple of degrees, which often tends to happen around midday. The föhn wind effect is usually fairly localised, with completely different conditions only a few miles away.</div>

The next bay to the S of Borge Bay also provides anchorage. This bay is bordered by high cliffs to the N and W, with lower ground to the S. Strong winds from N and W may well give rise to williwaws. Depths in the bay are deeper than suggested by the chart, Approaches to Signy Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The inlet, at the NW corner of the bay, has reasonable anchoring depths, but it is very small and it would be necessary to take lines ashore in order to prevent swinging. There is a stony beach at the SW end of the inlet.</div>

Matthews Island is very high, which causes the wind to be gusty and variable. Consequently, it might not be a safe anchorage in very strong winds. Otherwise, it is very sheltered, except from E.</div>

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>General</b></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>This is probably the best harbour for a yacht, to be found in the South Orkneys. Although it is not recommended by the Admiralty Pilot, this must be because of its small size and restricted entrance. Both these factors make it ideal for a yacht.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Approach</b></span>Christofferson Island protects the bay from the W and the main entrance is N of this island. A minimum depth of 7m was found and the entrance is just over 100m wide. The other entrance is E of Christofferson Island, from Ellefsen Harbour, having a minimum depth of 1.8m and being less than 20m wide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Anchorage</b></span>The N part of the harbour affords the best shelter and there are reasonable depths for anchoring. Anchorage was found in 6m, stiff mud, as shown on the sketch chart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The NE corner of the bay has several rocks, above and below water, so check that your swinging room clears these hazards. There is room to lie to a single anchor. <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span> rode out a W’ly gale here, in moderate comfort with no severe gusts. The relatively shallow entrance stops large pieces of ice from entering the bay, but when visited, there were several small pieces grounded on the lee shore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Remarks</b></span>The whole area surrounding the anchorage is a SSSI and special permission must be obtained before landing ashore. A large penguin colony (Adélie, chinstrap and gentoo) covers much of the shoreline and a good viewing platform is obtained by anchoring in the middle. There are also sea elephants and the occasional leopard seal.</div>

A narrow isthmus of shingle, at the head of Scotia Bay, connects the two halves of the island. The isthmus was the overwintering site of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition in 1903-04 and the remains of their stone hut can still be seen. An Argentine base, run by the Navy, now occupies the site. It is the oldest, continuously manned base in the Antarctic.<br />

Anchorage was found in the W part of the inner bay, in 8m, under the high cliff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The holding was poor and there were frequent gusts of wind from every direction. A SW gale hooked into the bay and started <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span> dragging her anchor, making it necessary to clear out. It is suggested that this anchorage should be treated with great caution and it is best avoided in any bad weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Remarks</span>The base personnel could not have been more hospitable and a very warm welcome was extended. Apart from visiting the base, there is little to see ashore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The steep shingle beach has some swell on it, which makes getting ashore a little difficult. When visited, there was no problem with ice in the anchorage.</div>

Chart 1769:<i> Gough Island</i><br />
H M Admiralty Pilot, Africa Vol ii<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Gough
Island lies just in the Roaring Forties and is 230 miles SSE of Tristan
de Cunha. It is a dependency of St Helena. The South African
Government lease the island for use as a weather station, which is
situated at Transvaal Bay on the SE end of the island. Visitors are not
permitted ashore unless they have a medical emergency– such as a loose
filling. There is a paramedic on the island, who was very obliging
about <span style="font-style: italic;">Badger</span>’s emergency.<br />
<br />
Gough
Island is well watered and covered in luxurious vegetation. There are
several mountains, the highest being Edinburgh Peak at 910m.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: 130%;">Anchorage</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We
anchored in Transvaal Bay, nearly 1 cable N of Standoff Rock and a
little S of the gorge, S of the met. station, in a depth of 13m, rocky
bottom. This gives good protection from the W’ly quadrant, but is
otherwise exposed. There is no easy landing ashore, but it might be
possible to do so at the gorge (the cliffs are very steep, but a rope on
the N side of the gorge, is rigged to assist access).</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>Remarks</b><br /></span><br />
On
the cliff by the met. station is a crane, which is used to offload the
stores. Contact with the station personnel will probably be made via
this, as they have no boat of their own: a small platform is lowered,
which can take several people.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Badger</span>
sailed up the coast to The Glen anchorage and it appears to offer
reasonable shelter from the SW quarter. When visited, there was only a
slight swell running and it appeared possible to land on the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
Island is quite beautiful; many yellow-nosed albatross were nesting
when visited. However, there is a good chance that weather conditions
might prevent a stop being possible.</div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">The
following notes on anchorages in South Georgia were made assembled
during a cruise made to the island in the summer of 1995. At the
time I was sailing aboard </span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ"><i>Badger</i></span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">,
with Pete Hill. We compiled notes and chartlets for the Royal
Cruising Club, but I now want this information to be available to
more people and for this reason am slowly incorporating them into
this blog. One day, I hope, Trevor and I will sail to South Georgia
and perhaps enlarge on this work.</span></span></span></div>

is much more useful than is generally the case with such Pilots, most
of the anchorages described below would get no more than a brief
mention. The official charts are not very detailed – indeed, the
ones we used were described at ‘Preliminary charts’ – but even
modern, metric ones, drawn after the Falklands Conflict will,
perhaps, lack some </span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">of</span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">While
publishing this information will encourage people to go to South
Georgia, I should point out that this is not something that should be
undertaken lightly. Conditions in the Southern Ocean can be extreme,

will appreciate. It provides some very sobering accounts of how bad
such sailing can be and anyone interested in cruising South Georgia
should certainly read this book first. Anyone sailing in these
waters </span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ"><b>must</b></span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">
be totally self-sufficient and prepared to extricate themselves from
any eventuality. There are no rescue services and help should
neither be sought nor expected from the Authorities in Grytviken. It
should be remembered that it is impossible to replenish </span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">both

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">As
well as being meticulously prepared for sailing in these latitudes, a
yacht’s ground tackle must be heavy and reliable. Hurricane force
winds in apparently sheltered anchorages are not uncommon and,
indeed, not one of the following anchorages could fairly be described
as perfectly sheltered from all directions. Adequate ground tackle
that will cope with these conditions, should be carried. This will
mean that the anchors and chain will seem ridiculously oversized for
general cruising. Your life may well depend on it.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Weather
conditions can change with extreme rapidity and a barograph is an
enormously useful aid to weather forecasting.</span></span></div>

<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
accuracy of available charts should not be relied upon. A number of
rocks and shoals are unmarked and there are also large discrepancies
in many areas between the position as indicated and that obtained by
GPS.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ">The
sketch charts included in these notes are just that. They were drawn
with reference to actual features and the (old) Admiralty charts that
we had on board. While I hope that they show all the pertinent
information, they should be treated with caution. In anticipation of
the metrication of the relevant charts, </span></span></span><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-NZ"><b>soundings

It is very mountainous and over half of its area is permanently
covered in ice and snow. The island lies within the Antarctic
Convergence, which accounts for the severity of the weather. South
Georgia is a British Possession. </span></span></span>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
first recorded sighting of the island was by Antoine de la Roche, a
London merchant, in 1675, but it wasn’t until 1775 that anyone
landed ashore to explore. Captain James Cook carried this out on his
second voyage of discovery.</span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Exploitation
of South Georgia started in 1786, with the killing of fur seals. The
sealing was so extensive that by 1802 stocks had become too depleted
to make their continued hunting viable.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
next animals to be exploited were the whales. This period lasted
from 1904 until 1966; again, this was discontinued when the animals
were almost wiped out.</span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">In
1982, South Georgia was invaded by Argentina at the start of the
Falklands Conflict, but was retaken a few weeks later. A result of
this was that for the next 20 years, a British garrison was
maintained in Grytviken. Thankfully, this is no longer the case and
members of the British Antarctic Survey have taken their place. </span></span>

</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before
visiting South Georgia, permission should first be obtained from the
Commissioner, by writing to him, enclosing a rough itinerary and
basic details of the boat and crew. This is usually a perfectly
straightforward business for a cruising yacht. The address is as
follows: The Commissioner for South Georgia and the South Sandwich
Islands, Government House, Stanley, Falkland Islands, South

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">There
is an entry charge, sufficiently steep to amount almost to a ‘fine’,

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
believe that there is some effort made to control movement of
visitors and restrict them from visiting the old whaling stations.
Ostensibly this is for their own safety, but one wonders if it is not
simply that the British Government is rightly ashamed of allowing
such appalling pollution to exist in what should be a pristine
environment. While the old stations are interesting in their way,
they stand as a telling monument to greed, exploitation and
environmental carelessness, which is almost criminal in its extent.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
the wind around South Georgia reaches gale force and above, it can
result in williwaws, which can reach hurricane force, even in an
apparently snug harbour, due to the turbulence produced as the wind
passes over the jagged mountain landscape. In the following notes,
any reference to shelter refers to that protection given from the
sea. As far as I know, every anchorage is subject to violent squalls
in certain circumstances. </span></span></span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
best weather is to found on the so-called ‘Sunshine Coast’
between Cooper Sound and the Bay of Islands. The NW and SE tips of
the island suffer from a greater amount of overcast and the weather
is generally unsettled. The SW coast is open to the prevailing winds
and is very exposed with few good anchorages – this coast should be
treated with the greatest respect.</span></span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
fur seal population has increased dramatically in the last few years
and is now believed to be back to at least its pre-sealing levels on
the Island. Because of this, many of the beaches are packed with fur
seals and these can make trips ashore harrassing and occasionally
hair-raising. The worst time is in the breeding season, which is
from October to early January, when the males, in particular, are
very aggressive. Unless you have previous experience, your first
trips ashore can be alarming.</span></span></div>

a stick of at least four feet such as a boathook or an oar, should be
carried by each person. Fur seals will often make what appears to be
an attack, but pointing the bodger at them usually halts them and a

tap under the chin will deter the more persistent. It is unnecessary
to use force. You can literally stumble over fur seals amazingly far
up the hills, where they can lie hidden in tussac grass. If you come
across one suddenly, you will both get a fright and the animal’s
response is, not unnaturally, quite aggressive.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
first time you go ashore, don’t be too ambitious and concentrate on
getting used to the seals and their behaviour. After a while, you
will become more blasé and experienced people almost ignore them.
After the breeding season, they become much less aggressive, but are
still very inquisitive. The pups, in particular, can be quite
enchanting as they come charging out to meet the dinghy when you row
ashore.</span></span></div>

The best place, however, is alongside the old whale catcher, <em>Petrel</em>, at the S end of the whaling station, which, in the summer of 1994-95 was holed and resting on the bottom. This berth was used by Tim and Pauline Carr on <em>Curlew</em> for several years, summer and winter. Tie up alongside with the bow facing offshore and take a breast line ashore to the wooden jetty to the N. This will enable you to haul off <em>Petrel</em> in the case of an E wind and to ride out a blow in relative comfort. There is a depth of 3m, amidships, alongside <em>Petrel</em>.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">The second choice is to tie up in the bight of the old plan, between the two piers and alongside the N one. Tie up facing E (offshore) and take a breast rope ashore to the S jetty (in poor condition), again to enable you to pull off in an E wind.</div><p align="justify">A third option is to tie up alongside either of the two wooden docks which have approximately 3m depth. It is advisable to set an anchor offshore, either to pull the boat off the pier in an E'ly or to assist in leaving the jetty in an E blow when it may well be untenable alongside.</p><p align="justify">The dock at King Edward Point has a depth alongside of 6m, but it is inadvisable to remain there except in settled weather. Even with a wind out of the E, the swell makes it uncomfortable for a yacht. During E'ly winds, a sheltered anchorage will be found in the bight of King Edward Point, in a depth of 8m, clear of the kelp.</p><p align="justify">There is an excellent museum in the old Manager's House at Grytviken. It has a small shop selling postcards and souvenirs.</p><p align="justify">Water is obtainable from the stream inland of <em>Petrel</em>, with a grassy bank giving easy access. The big guano shed alongside the stream provides a good place to dry laundry. Water can also be obtained from a pipe near the shore, close to the Museum.</p><p align="justify">King Edward Point has a post office. Mail is delivered by air at intervals of approximately two weeks. This is air-dropped into the Cove by an RAF aeroplane, sent from the Falklands. Surface mail and outgoing mail is sent via the supply ship at intervals of about two months. Incoming airmail should normally take around one month from Great Britain.

The centre of the bay is a mass of kelp with the Bar Rocks marking the S end. The main channel to the S of the Bar Rocks is the more straightforward. There is also a passage along the N shore, but there is some kelp here.</span></span> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify" lang="en-NZ"><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Suitable depths for anchoring will be found at the head of the bay. In 1995, the wooden pier is in a very poor state, but it was possible to go alongside the N side. About midway along, there was a length of dock with an extra plank to make fending off possible. Prudence would dictate laying out an anchor to the N, in order to be able to pull away from the jetty in winds from this quadrant. The S side of the pier has a railway line; walking along this was the safest way to get ashore, but be very careful when using the jetty because it has many loose, missing and rotten planks. When visited, a couple of terns were nesting on the dock. A very sharp lookout should be kept if there are obviously agitated birds about, because neither the egg nor the chick would be easily seen.</span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="en-NZ">The remains of a whaling station are here, in the usual ruined and vandalised state.

They lived in the house at the S end of the factory. If this staion is still operating, It would be courteous to contact them to avoid interfering with any of their projects or experiments, when ashore.

A three -our walk, S up the Olsen Valley, takes you to Carlita Bay or the Neumayer Glacier. It is possible to walk up the Karrakatta Valley and over to Fortuna Bay, as well as round to Stromness and Leith Harbours.</span></span></p>

An Argentine commercial salvage operation was used to disguise the arrival of military personnel, who eventually invaded the island. As a consequence of the salvage work (which was never completed) there is a huge pile of rusting machinery and parts by the main dock. Much more is scattered about making this station probably the worst eyesore on the island, which is saying a lot. While many of the buildings are still standing, time and vandalism have taken their usual toll.</span></span> <br />

The depth at the SE end is not known, but is believed to be sufficient for most yachts. NW winds can blow here with extreme violence.

</div><div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="en-NZ"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="color: maroon;">Cook Bay is to the North of Possession Bay. The latter has the unenviable reputation of being the windiest spot in South Georgia and certainly, on the day on which <i>Badger</i> crossed its mouth, the wind was blowing hard from the glacier at the head of the bay, while previously we had only been experiencing winds of F3 from NNE.</span></span></span></div><div align="justify" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Close S of Sheep Point is the Carl Passage, which is the narrow entrance to the lagoon. Although there is much kelp around here, an almost clear lead can be found through it, with above-water rocks on either hand.</span></span></div><div align="justify" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="en-NZ"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="color: maroon;">The narrowest part of the channel is encountered just before the lagoon is entered, and is approximately 25m wide. The chart indicates a minimum depth of 1.8m and on the occasion of <i>Badger</i>'s visit, soundings suggested that this is still the case. We entered at approximately half tide, near Springs and found a minimum depth of 2.3m. Most yachts should have no trouble in entering after half tide.</span></span></span></div><div align="justify" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><span style="color: maroon;">Landing is possible ashore in most places. South and East Bays are reported to be very windy places, which suggests that Elephant Lagoon probably suffers the same. Recommended in settled weather.</span></div><br />

She was a three-masted, iron-hulled vessel, 76m long and 1686 tons. She was built in 1883 by J Reid and Co. of Glasgow and was first named <i>Sierra Pedrosa</i> while owned by the Sierra Shipping line of Lima. After coming to South Georgia, she was used as a coaling hulk alongside the jetty, before ending her days on the beach.</span></span></span></div><br />

Several of these are nesting sites for Wandering albatross and the big, white birds, dotting the islands, can easily be seen from quite some distance away. It was around here that Robert Murphy, the naturalist on board the whaler, <i>Daisy</i>, spent much of his time when in South Georgia. He wrote about this in <i>A Logbook for Grace </i><span style="font-style: normal;">and</span> did the initial survey of the area, which was used until quite recently. Many of the islands and other features were named by Murphy</span></span></span></div><div align="justify" lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

There is a long line of kelp extending from the E shore across the entrance; pass to the W of this. Various other patches of kelp have to be avoided once in the fjord.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A kelp-marked reef divides the head of the bay in two. S and W of this reef and off the beach, is an anchorage in 4.5m, clear of kelp. Approximately one third of the way along this bay there is an underwater rock, near to the beach. When anchoring, ensure that you have sufficient swinging room to clear this. The S shore of the bay has extensive kelp beds off it. This anchorage is sheltered from the SE through W to N. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bird
Island is a SSSI, hence visits to the island are not allowed unless
special permission is obtained through the Assistant Commissioner to
South Georgia. BAS have a base on the island at Jordan Cove, where
birds and mammals are studied. In 1995, three people wintered over
and up to eight people spent the summer there.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">There
are shoals in the Sound and the Hornaday Rock is in the middle of the
passage. Two passages lead through the Sound: one to the N and one
to the S of the shoals. Although the N passage is narrower, by
keeping close to the shore of Bird Island, it is straightforward.</span></span></div>

the day that we passed through the Sound, the shoals were breaking
heavily and creating a very confused sea. I suspect that the wind
normally blows either up or down the Sound. Sailing through, except
with a following wind, would usually be extremely difficult.</span></span></div>

as being ‘little visited’, which is not surprising, because it is
much wilder than are the N and E coasts. From Cape Nunez SE, there
are few harbours and it is a lee shore to a SW gale. Added to this
is the fact that the surveys of the area are not complete and rocks
and reefs exist that are not marked on the chart. There is usually a

approach to Undine Harbour is not straightforward, with shoals, kelp
banks and the odd rock extending E from the Birdie Rocks to
Grassholm. Passing to the NW of Birdie Rocks or N of Grassholm will
give the clearest approach, but care should be taken, as there are
several uncharted rocks.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
band of thick kelp running SW-NE across the bay marks the terminal
moraine. Towards the SW end of the kelp line is a conspicuous rock.
Close NE of this rock, the kelp is much less dense. When entering
the inner bay, we crossed this band of kelp about 100m NE of the
rock. The minimum depth in the kelp was 3m, but just inshore of the
kelp, the bottom shoaled to an estimated 1.5m at low water. Close N
of the rock was a breaking wave, which suggested even shallower
water. </span></span>

<div lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">On
leaving the bay the following morning, we crossed the moraine
approximately 200m NE of the rock. There was more swell and at times
a breaking wave extended almost the whole length of the moraine,
inshore of the kelp. When passing through this breaker, we were in
5.5m and found a minimum of an estimated 2.1m at low water just
inshore of the kelp. Depths in the weed were about 3m. The kelp was
fairly thick, but we motored through with no problems.</span></span></div>

<div lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anchorage
was found off the middle of the 3 glaciers at the W end of the bay.
A kelp-marked, terminal moraine enclosed an inner pool off the
glacier, with a drying rock in the middle of the kelp. We anchored
outside the moraine in 15m with the depth rapidly increasing to 21m
off the moraine.</span></span></div>

<br />
</div>
<div lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">Close
SW of this anchorage is a small cove, with a shingle beach, but it
was completely choked with kelp. At the time of our visit, the
glacier calved quite a number of small pieces of ice, which filled
the inner basin and slowly streamed past us, creating much noise, if
little danger. </span></span>

<div lang="en-NZ" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #993300;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
heavy swell from the S could possibly cause a yacht to be trapped
behind the moraine until such time as it subsided.</span></span></div>

anchorage is in a most spectacular setting, with the glacier
descending the mountain almost vertically. There is good shelter
from the N and W and little swell. </span></span></div>

Unfortunately, recent changes for clearing in and out by yacht have made it dearer than any other country, due to the high agent fees and greedy officials. Therefore most of us would not recommend it as a cruising destination."Annie Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223629072702767435.post-30079401350792869762007-07-30T10:59:00.001+12:002007-08-03T16:00:44.769+12:00Rules concerning Prior Notice of Yacht Arrivals in Australia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxT63Q-iJQMtod79W8QDL2Hg1geiXIBUUpzO6x7nI5GCnYvPsM2dRH5KDcaU2AQDKFfQTBqAOYvCcjEUB_kxTDGoQbKsoqerYQN074XOdsrL9OONXwoPkMyjmgOS9yQhDKzD62MnL9Qo/s1600-h/Oz+rules+4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWxT63Q-iJQMtod79W8QDL2Hg1geiXIBUUpzO6x7nI5GCnYvPsM2dRH5KDcaU2AQDKFfQTBqAOYvCcjEUB_kxTDGoQbKsoqerYQN074XOdsrL9OONXwoPkMyjmgOS9yQhDKzD62MnL9Qo/s400/Oz+rules+4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094317098260911186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlNs8TNV2FBQqkJuERHnkkbFH6lgAyvAmZ3LEU0j9VntrgZWj-Glqgqk8HO-7qL75FOVU3bG4amm-PgKxHTOLr7fXj4KdG9W-HCqxAeGuK5HkyY0XBAjgZHLf6GHfEbeaPJO610HdKpk/s1600-h/Oz+rules+3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivlNs8TNV2FBQqkJuERHnkkbFH6lgAyvAmZ3LEU0j9VntrgZWj-Glqgqk8HO-7qL75FOVU3bG4amm-PgKxHTOLr7fXj4KdG9W-HCqxAeGuK5HkyY0XBAjgZHLf6GHfEbeaPJO610HdKpk/s400/Oz+rules+3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094315564957586498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsglZDxopTjsDGhLHGwwrpUgAsL3s9_aqUpUqRzkG2AxcZ0tqou1d5sO3T3syV1Sln5HzawGHvZbobW2DJUL4rB0NFRBYqDSceBgsC_G66LBboTqILmBjS-Jypjjjd1znHzVIeccJq5sc/s1600-h/Oz+rules+2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsglZDxopTjsDGhLHGwwrpUgAsL3s9_aqUpUqRzkG2AxcZ0tqou1d5sO3T3syV1Sln5HzawGHvZbobW2DJUL4rB0NFRBYqDSceBgsC_G66LBboTqILmBjS-Jypjjjd1znHzVIeccJq5sc/s400/Oz+rules+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094313688056878130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoi6MICMUBHaoxy-7HF4qWO_14t_NyfsS2MOBE5OUHNmLtVJJpasDANADZ10xVnnz9NaKczwSnMFPIorvdNDmd4eUzWqJdEZ3zEGdjg4_2AoZXWyi2Y-Qtnw0eXhCheNp2RChHVxsSP8/s1600-h/Oz+rules+1+web.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpoi6MICMUBHaoxy-7HF4qWO_14t_NyfsS2MOBE5OUHNmLtVJJpasDANADZ10xVnnz9NaKczwSnMFPIorvdNDmd4eUzWqJdEZ3zEGdjg4_2AoZXWyi2Y-Qtnw0eXhCheNp2RChHVxsSP8/s400/Oz+rules+1+web.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094307799656715250" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-family:Georgia;">There have been stories and rumours in the yachting press and amongst voyagers as to the rules for new arrivals in Australia.

Anchor in 4 to 6 m, sand. Land your dinghy on the long jetty, being aware that there is less than 1 m of water at its end.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Clearance</span></strong><br /><br />Clear in using ‘Juan’ at Marina Juan, at the base of the jetty. We were told that the cost is B140, 000 (US $1 = 2,100 at bank rate; 2,300 on the street.)<br /><br />General<br /><br />Rum and beer are both very cheap and off good quality. Rum was B400/ltr (Superior), beer B9900/case of 24, 250 ml (Polar).<br /><br />Diesel fuel B200/ltr, delivered to the boat. Less than B100 ashore.<br /><br />Taxis anywhere in town are B5,000.<br /><br />The best vegetables that we found were sold by C M (Centrale Margarita) Supermercado. Rattan, on Ave 4 Mayonnaise is the best all-round supermarket, but with the exception of fuel and alcohol, Porlamar is not particularly cheap and Panama would be a better bet for boats Pacific-bound.<br /><br />Visa credit card was widely accepted, but it was necessary to supply additional ID, preferably a passport. A photocopy of the passport also works and saves the risk of carrying a passport ashore.<br /><br />Getting cash from a credit card via ATMs is difficult or impossible and very risky: thieves and con men lurk around these machines. We were told that Banco Provinciale accepts foreign credit cards, but we couldn’t get cash from their machines or from anyone else.Annie Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223629072702767435.post-18479979426960133032007-04-30T11:06:00.000+12:002007-06-08T10:01:58.902+12:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Villamil, Isabela, Galapagos</span></strong></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgKBbevSM-Pk-RMw3vr0-JPyhHfdHbn1JbDC16PXWIl3UDB8REJ8GIewKPi4w-1mDAYGFl7WwCHvsQsep21845kmpZ-nYrQkj0eaWS2rciuuKJTB5yBz50NVExTbItaV8nc8t62H9RNrs/s1600-h/Approaches+to+Villamil.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073445683273788866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgKBbevSM-Pk-RMw3vr0-JPyhHfdHbn1JbDC16PXWIl3UDB8REJ8GIewKPi4w-1mDAYGFl7WwCHvsQsep21845kmpZ-nYrQkj0eaWS2rciuuKJTB5yBz50NVExTbItaV8nc8t62H9RNrs/s400/Approaches+to+Villamil.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZk0tkwy7xYwg8u1_r3GSwPH8OZLIPAwXbRG4aSoO9uShX6M-PyD8-nycMZNqwN4a_Vwmsz537ieZMFNmiPQaYNDkIkIl1M_6zyJr6vWG9DfDzw0zYz0QV5aL92WdSNDLztjnOz21aHg/s1600-h/Villamil+Anchorage.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073445477115358642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKZk0tkwy7xYwg8u1_r3GSwPH8OZLIPAwXbRG4aSoO9uShX6M-PyD8-nycMZNqwN4a_Vwmsz537ieZMFNmiPQaYNDkIkIl1M_6zyJr6vWG9DfDzw0zYz0QV5aL92WdSNDLztjnOz21aHg/s400/Villamil+Anchorage.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="left"><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Approaches</strong> </span><br /><br /><br /><br />There are banks off Villamil, which break in a heavy swell, even at 10 m depths. This can make the approach rather tense. The shallowest section, on the recommended track, has a least depth of 7 or 8 m. However, this are is partially protected by the offshore banks and is unlikely to break except in extreme conditions. The waves lift and peak with a heavy swell, but the passage is smooth in normal conditions.<br /><br />Steer a course of about 295°T, parallel to the breakers on the banks, keeping in at least 40 m of water, until the first green buoy bears about 345°T. Alter course for the buoy and leave it about 100 m to port. Alter course to pass between the red and green buoys at the entrance to the anchorage: steer about 045°T. The depths are about 7 or 8 m in this area and again, the swell can lift and peak in heavy conditions, but are unlikely to break.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Anchorage</span></strong><br /><br />The anchorage is sheltered by islands.

Anchoring is free, but it can be choppy and is about a half-mile dinghy ride to the PCYC, where you can leave the dinghy. As well as the dinghy dock, there are washing machines, fresh water, rubbish bins, a bar and restaurant. You can make use of these facilities for $2 a day. The yacht club will also hold mail and provides Internet access. All prices are reasonable. Times and dates for transits are posted here. The marina berths at both PCYC and Shelter Bay were about 50¢ per ft per day. While the PCYC is convenient for Colón, it is run down and grubby, while Shelter Bay Marina is brand new, with excellent facilities, including on board Internet. It is situated in an attractive rural area with pleasant walks. Although a launch to Colón is provided, this occasionally broke down.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Clearing</span></strong><br /><br />On arrival in Colón, clear Customs and Immigration and request your canal transit immediately: this is not done automatically, because there are transient yachts coming to Colón merely to provision.<br /><br />Clearing requires that you visit 5 offices, scattered around Colón, with appropriate clearances, ship’s papers, passports, photocopies of ship’s papers, crew lists, and passport photos of the crew. There are several taxi drivers (Hines and Ellington are both efficient) at the Panama Canal Yacht Club, who will take you around, arrange for the correct number of photocopies and photographs, translate forms and generally walk you through the whole procedure in about 2 hours, at a cost of US $20 and hour, plus $67 to $97 (depending on the size of the boat) in charges. Alternatively, you can do it yourself, but this will probably take about 2 days.<br /><br />Most streets in Colón are sufficiently dangerous to justify the cost of using a taxi: fares around the town are $1 and it costs $2 to go to the supermarkets a little further out of town. Not all the taxi drivers are as honest as they might be and it’s worth establishing the cost before getting in the taxi.Annie Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223629072702767435.post-3453903002493970492007-04-30T10:55:00.001+12:002007-04-30T11:18:50.255+12:00<strong><span style="font-size:180%;">AVES DEL BARLOVENTO, VENEZUELA </span></strong><br /><p><strong>Approach</strong><br /><br />There are more coral patches than charted in the approach to the obvious anchorage, NE of the light tower. These are easy to avoid in good light, but a serious hazard in overcast conditions. </p><p><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Anchorage</span></strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Anchor in 4 to 12 m, sand.<br /><br />The anchorage is used by fishing boats. There is a shallow well in the middle of the island, with fairly brackish water. It is situated about 300 m W of the light tower.<br /><br />An alternative anchorage is in the lee of the reef, further E or behind the most W sand cay.<br /><br />The channels among the mangroves are home to hundreds of red-footed boobies. Many of these were nesting, when visited in March, with chicks in all stages of development. Non-breeding birds also roost in the mangroves. The island is worth visiting if only to see the boobies. </p>Annie Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-223629072702767435.post-87174887137426201422007-04-28T20:00:00.000+12:002008-09-24T18:05:01.873+12:00<div align="left"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>CRUISING NOTES ON THE COAST OF LABRADOR, COLLECTED BY PETE & ANNIE HILL 1997 AND BY ANNIE HILL AND TREVOR ROBERTSON 2002.<br /></strong></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>CONTENTS </strong><br /><br /></span>INTRODUCTION<br />CHART OF SOUTH LABRADOR<br />CHART OF NORTH LABRADOR<br />CORRECTIONS TO CANADIAN CHARTS<br />SCHOONER COVE, L’ANSE AU LOUP<br />RED BAY<br />BATTLE HARBOUR<br />ST FRANCIS HARBOUR<br />SNUG HARBOUR<br />INDIAN TICKLE<br />BLACKGUARD BAY<br />EDWARDS HARBOUR<br />INDIAN HARBOUR<br />STRAWBERRY HARBOUR<br />MAKKOVIK BAY<br />BLIND MUGFORD TICKLE<br />HOPEDALE<br />MULTA COVE<br />NEWFOUNDLAND HARBOUR<br />TIKIGATSIAK COVE<br />KANGELUKTANNA BAY<br />BRIDGES PASSAGE<br />KAUK HARBOUR<br />NAIN<br />EDDY CLIFF ANCHORAGE<br />PORT MANVERS RUN<br />ROUTE TO OKAK BAY<br />DAWES HARBOUR<br />GREEN ISLAND HARBOUR<br />THREE MOUNTAIN HARBOUR<br />NAPAKTOK BAY<br />HEBRON HARBOUR<br />SAGLEK BAY, EASTERN HARBOUR<br />SAGLEK BAY, ST JOHN’S HARBOUR<br />SAGLEK FIORD, KANGALASIORVIK BAY<br />SCHOONER COVE, NACHVAK FIORD<br />CAPE WHITE HANDKERCHIEF<br />SEAPLANE COVE<br />COLLINS POINT BAY<br />BIB COVE<br />SHOAL BAY<br />ISELIN HARBOUR<br />CLARK HARBOUR<br />‘NANUK COVE’, BUTTON ISLANDS</div>Annie Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06839484196732830052noreply@blogger.com0
