This is really a one-boat anchorage. More could fit if they were willing to anchor out in more of the swell. It has only minimal protection from the wrapping swells but it's pretty. 


Most consider this a good place to jump off from Erromango to Efate as it shaves about 10 miles off the trip. We're not sure it's worth it, as even from here, the passage is too long for most of us to do during daylight hours.  If you find a boat or two here, you're stuck anchoring out in the swells.

The reefs didn't look all that special here though we only viewed them from the dinghy and didn't get in the water.
