A wonderfully sheltered anchorage on the east side of the Principe Channel. The entrance is narrow but deep and free of dangers. Once through the first set of narrows head for the second set of narrows and anchor in the northernmost of the 2 basins at the head of the Inlet. Excellent holding in thick clay in 10-12m of water with steep mountains on all sides. The southerly basin is very pretty but depths are a little too deep for comfortable anchoring.
Whilst this is a wonderfully protected and sheltered anchorage in normal conditions, the mountain topography and experience of anchoring in similar anchorages in this area suggests that it could be subject to williwaws and severe downfall winds in a strong SE blow.
