ANCHORAGES:
Navy charts NZ 5122 and NZ 5123 apply. Suitable anchorages will be subject to wind direction and strength.
Suggestions are as follows:
MATAUWHI BAY / RUSSELL are both suitable in winds from North through to South East, with Matauwhi Bay having the better holding.
OPUA is the ultimate all weather anchorage, but please keep clear of permanent moorings and be aware of the difficulties of getting to and from Russell.
ONEROA / LONG BEACH if the weather has been settled from the westerly quarter eliminating any easterly swell, this anchorage has good holding in 4 metres of water close to shore. It is an easy 1.25 km walk to the Duke of Marlborough Hotel.
