(named after the Patron of the tug boat Yamana, who kindly showed us the place)
The information on this useful anchorage in Puerto Deaseado was supplied by Isabelle Harle and Ariel Waksman (Yacht Skol), who anchored in this caleta in 2015
Protection : all weather, some swell enters with strong NW.
Depth : 6 – 8 m
Bottom : sand – very good
Lines : 2 to 4. There are no trees. Find rocks and use if possible a length of chain to protect the lines. Note that some rocks are not strong enough, better test them.
Approach : easy but get there before the wind blows too strong.
You find shelter in a sort of channel that lies between the mainland and the peninsula.
This caleta is perfect when the winds are too violent to stay at anchor in front of Puerto Deseado. Up to three boat can find shelter at the same time.
