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.
