Fisherman's Cove - Anchorage details
Back to Anchorages Page
Latitude: 06.10.05'N
Longitude: 99.48.80'E
Average Depth: 3 - 4 m
Best months for anchoring: All year round. Not so good: Nil
Description:
This location is very similar to "Fjords" anchorage # 3. The main difference is that it's smaller, having room for 3 - 4 yachts, which depends on how many fishing boats anchor there. Squid boat crews sleep there during the day before leaving at sundown to work. Then the day boats come in and usually raft up together for the night. To do that they prefer to anchor in the middle which leaves the edges clear. The last time I was there, I found it simple to drop anchor out from the Northern shore, then reverse until close enough to attach a stern line to a tree. That cancels any worries about swinging on tides.
NOTE:
Being surrounded by the high-sided islands offers maximum protection from bad weather, but it also cuts down cooling breezes.
HOLDING:
The holding ground in mud and shale is excellent.
DANGERS:
None. Watch tides, if not tied by stern line to the shore.
