A useful passage anchorage to sit out a foul tide when transiting the Johnstone Straits.
Anchor in the mouth of the inlet just off the public wharf. Average holding on rock and weed in around 6-8m. The tide runs at up to 2 knots in the inlet so you will probably lie head to tide rather than to wind.
The public wharf has room for 2 vessels alongside. Even in light winds, if the wind has any southerly component in it a swell will enter the harbour and lying alongside or anchoring in the mouth would be uncomfortable. In such conditions Baresides Bay at the head of the harbour is said to offer good holding and shelter.
