Communication

Navigation

The green buoy shown in the pilot is a fairly prominent pillar about 5ft high, but it could still be hard to spot in a big swell.

The red can-shaped port hand buoy is much further inshore and was easy to see. We came from the S, so didn't have to worry about the E. edge of the reef - but looking at it from the shore we couldn't see anything recognizable as a cardinal, just some small yellow pillars.

If coming from the North it would be best to stay at least a half mile offshore until you can positively identify the green pillar. The approach is between green and red on a bearing of 360 degrees.

Turn sharply to starboard round the breakwater - there is not much space and there could be a few tourist boats and other small craft in the area. If there is no-one there to direct you just pick a pontoon and tie up. We took a large finger and when someone eventually appeared in the office we weren't asked to move even though we told them we were only 8 metres.
