 Edinburgh : Profile
One should anchor off Edinburgh settlement. Radio Tristan will contact the yacht on VHF Channel 16. Advice on anchoring can be obtained from the harbour master. The yacht will be boarded by the immigration and medical officials. The immigration official will complete formalities ashore.
The government boat carrying the officials will not take crews ashore, who must use their dinghy. In the event of a medical emergency a boat will be provided. A boat without a dinghy may apply to the Administrator for the use of a government boat, for a fee.
Yachts should maintain contact with Tristan Radio while at the anchorage, and inform them of ETD and destination.
The small boat harbour closes to visiting vessels after 1900 in the summer (October-March), and 1700 in winter (April-September), though it may close earlier on fishing days or in the event of bad weather.
