The 'Fiords' - Anchorage details

Latitude: 06.11.13'N
Longitude: 99.47.23'E
Average Depth: 3 -12 m

Best months for anchoring: All year round !!!
Not so good: Nil

Description:
The area known as "The Fjords" is the name given to this general group of islands SE of Kuah. For peace & quiet and best protection from any nasty weather, it is equal to the "Hole In The Wall" anchorage in the NE of the island. While anchored in the Fjords, take a dinghy trip to the "Pregnant Maiden Lake", about 1nm to the NW. Another option is to anchor your yacht there, but from 1000-1600 there are dozens of long-boats full of tourists to cope with on most days. Take your bathing suit for a refreshing fresh-water dip in the lake. But, be aware of the lake's legend of "having magical fertility powers" :-))

NOTE:
Due to the limited space, this particular anchorage is suitable for only 5 or 6 average size yachts to swing around on tide changes.

HOLDING:
The holding ground in mud, clay and shale, is excellent.

DANGERS:
There are no hidden dangers, but the occasional fishing boat might anchor a bit closer than you'd like. That's a good time to go and make friends with them, ask if they have any fish to sell and politely ask them to re-anchor. (At worst, you'll have fresh seafood).
