Booby Cay Anchorage (Conception)
23° 50.6′ N · 75° 5.6′ W · approximate
An anchorage 'around the corner' off Booby Cay, the seabird cay on Conception's east side.
Practical
Noonsite (2016): keep a good lookout for the many bombies; the anchorage gets rolly in easterly winds and you should leave when strong easterly to southwesterly winds are expected. Position is approximate, placed north of the gap between Conception and Booby Cay from the OSM coastline. Booby Cay is a seabird nesting site inside the national park - do not land on it during nesting (BNT asks visitors not to disturb wildlife).
Best for
Brief settled-weather stop near the seabird colonies
Season
