Rémire Island Anchorage (North Side)

5° 6.6′ S · 53° 18.8′ E · approximate

A small-ship anchorage just north of Rémire that the US sailing directions record.

Practical

Pub. 171 (2010): anchorage has been taken in 14 m about 0.2 nm N of the island, with its E extremity bearing 137° and W extremity 186°. Navigation between North Island (African Banks) and Rémire, and on to D'Arros 28 nm S, should be in daylight and good weather only: the bottom is foul in places, though it may be plainly seen in 22 m in good light. The trees are about 15 m high, visible up to 12 nm. Coordinate is approximate: 0.2 nm N of the island outline in OpenStreetMap. Land only with IDC permission.
