description
Large bay with two (Three) wicks. We took a small "bay" in the mid part since it did appear less exposed to the north westerly wind. Bay open to the south east, but no swell evene if wind had been at 12-15 knot for days..
Small village in bottom of Hoswick.
Channerwick close by to the south has been reported with good holding in sand, but we found it more exposed to the NW wind.
Sandwick close by to the north may looks temting, with better protection, but the chart showes submerged cables!
