However, it is generally too deep to anchor, and the entrance is narrow, and divided by a rock 5ft high. The S channel is shoal and foul. The N channel is deep enough, but extremely narrow, and affected by waves bouncing back off the rocks. To be avoided when there is any swell or a westerly breeze, when the entrance will be positively dangerous.Wed, 10 Dec 2014 20:42:40 GMTDavid.Tyler
