Toau South Motus Anchorage
15° 58.9′ S · 145° 52.9′ W
Jacaranda's favourite Toau anchorage: off a pretty motu south of the main pass in about 30 ft, with good shelter in normal E-SE trades.
Practical
Position 15°58.916'S 145°52.947'W, about 30 ft with bommies (Jacaranda, Sept 2016). Good, though less protection than the wooded motus further into the SE corner. With good light you can pick a clear sand patch almost anywhere along the motus south of the pass; float your chain.
