Dupwala Freshwater Well (Coco Bandero)

9° 30.6′ N · 78° 37.1′ W · approximate

A freshwater well on Dupwala, one of the eastern Coco Bandero islets, that cruisers use for laundry while anchored in the calm water behind Olosicuidup.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: the Dupwala islet in OpenStreetMap (way 12426370), on land. Spirit of Argo (2016) noted the fresh water well on Dupwala for laundry, good snorkelling around, and the calmest anchorages behind and beside Olosicuidup cay including the channel to its west, even in a good blow; the anchorage north in front of Tiadup looked rolly. Ask the caretaker family before drawing water. Not for drinking without treatment.
