description
Best approach from the southwest. Several reefs, so follow the nautical chart closely. Be especially aware of the wash reef / 0.5 meters on the port side when following the deepest channel. Also, be cautious of the 1.3-meter depth between the small islet in the middle and all the bolts towards the south/west (Saltsprøytene). This 1.3-meter area extends several meters outwards with slightly more depth, though still shallow for sailboats. It is also possible to sail in from the northwest. Narrow between reefs, but good depth. Follow the chart. Very exposed to wind from all directions. Waves coming in from the southwest. Plenty of “nose in” spots with bolts for motorboats. “Nose in” and a longside possible for sailboats towards Saltsprøytene. “Nose in” also possible for sailboats at the northernmost part of this bay towards one of the Skrattaholmen.
