Colaylayan Bay Anchorage (Linapacan)

A landlocked bay on Linapacan's west side, protected from all directions once you are through the maze of pearl farms at its mouth.

Practical

Hackingfamily (Jul): 11 26.65N 119 43.99E in 68 ft (21 m) mud; no cell. Poorly laid pearl farms extend almost 3 nm out from the entrance: black ball floats with no end markers, some on short tethers and semi-submerged. Ocelot hailed a passing banka to guide them through. Inside it is protected from every direction (their refuge from a northern system). Healthy coral west of the anchorage to the tip of the peninsula.
