Other anchorages:
Okat has large padded mooring balls that were orginally installed for big fishing boats. Thet are currently unused and free and very good.

A new laundromat opened across the street from Ace hardware (2010)
Other activities:
Movie nights, snorkelling, fishing, diving, hiking, car rental, happy hour and sunset cruises - speak to Mark at Pacific Treelodge for more information. Mark is very yachty friendly and a great help to all visiting boaters.
Getting around the island:
Great island for bicycles and are availeble for hire at Pacific Treelodge. Taxi;'s are few and you wait a long time for them to come. Most people hitch and you will get a ride.
Shopping:
You have to look around to get the deals, all the shops sell the same kind of stuff but prices can vary a lot.
JBI: Lelu - just down from the dock - good for basics
RJ's: Lelu - oppoiste the dock - good for fish and fresh fruit and vegetables.
Ace hardware: Lelu - biggest shop on the island and well stocked for hardware.
Senny's: 10 minutes walk past Pacific TReelodge, good for basic supplies.
Neimes: 5 minites walk pas Pacific TReelodge,m good for basic supplies and liquior.
Srongsranos (the mall): Tafunsak, good for basic supplies but a bit of a trek - 30 minutes on bicycle.
Micks: In Santrek, a bit of a trek from the anchorage but well worth it. They have all sorts there.
Japenese Farm - 20 minutes from Lelu (turn right at the bridge after the Bank of FSM), good for fresh vegetables what ever they have at the time and very cheap. best time is early in the morning or sunday.
Loads of mama and papa shops that sell chips, sodas, soap powder, spam, tuna fish etc......
Fish markets: Lelu causeway, Okat and the odd mama and papa shops. Best time to go is 5-6pm on an evening when the fish comes in.
Restaurants:
Nautilus: Just up the road from Bank of FSM. Air conditioned, rather sterile environment, good pizza on a sunday and good lunches.
Bully's: 5 minutes up from Nautilus. Set in amongst the MAngroves, very relaxed, great place to chill out, drink a never ending glass of iced tea and read a book, good food particularly breakfast and lunch, very very cruiser friendly and a beautiful setting.
Awanes: Tofol - small local restaurant, no alcohol, great for lunch particularly the breaded tuna.
KVR: Rather a long way away and over priced but somewhere different and very traditional building.
Rendevous: Next to Neimes - great Polish Sausgae hot dog. Ask in the shop if there is nobody there.
