Chugash Passage – 59°10.30'N, 151°46.50'W [GPS WGS84 position]
Port Chatham – 59°12.58'N, 151°46.75'W [GPS WGS84 position]
Port Chatham is a well sheltered inlet, and is a good place to wait for a fair tide through Chugash Passage, where the north-going flood runs at up to 4.8 knots, and the south-going ebb runs at up to 2.7 knots. Chrome Bay, 7m, could be used in a northerly wind, or go further inside, leaving Chatham Island to starboard, for a choice of anchorages in about 10m, in a southerly/easterly wind. There is a CG mooring buoy that might be used, if vacant.
