Archi Islet Anchorage (Sounion, southerly winds)

The islet of Archi guards the western side of Sounion bay. SailingIssues gives a separate anchorage here for southerly winds, when the main bay is uncomfortable.

Practical

This is SailingIssues' 'anchorage in southerly winds' waypoint. Bottom and depth are not detailed, so sound carefully and expect sand/weed patches as elsewhere in the bay. In a strong southerly, SailingIssues recommends crossing to Korissia or Vourkari on Kea (about 24 nm) instead.
