Logistics & Technical

The bay is exceptionally well-sheltered from the prevailing winds, making it a reliable overnight stop. The water is noticeably cooler here due to underwater springs, which is a blessing in the summer heat. Mooring is typically done stern-to with lines to the rocks or ancient stones, and the sandy/pebbly bottom provides solid holding.
