The anchorage is great, a wide open beach that stretches for miles, we dropped the anchor in 5.6 meters with 1.2 meters of tide at Impul Passage, the anchor pulled up well, there are some reefs around, but are clear on google earth images. There is a festival starting here today, so there are 9 boats here, we met a lot of the people last night, and found a little store selling Satays so had dinner there. There are all sorts of little stands selling stuff on the beach, and a big stage, with Monster Speakers, so I think they have quite a bit of stuff planned. So all good here, and we will stay put for a few days and hopefully enjoy the Festival.
