Smaller Outer Islands (FSM) - Docking

Feb 01, 2013

SOROL

Position:  8° 8.019'N 140° 22.092'E

Sorol is uninhabited with an abandoned small village and school on the largest island. Entrance to the atoll is wide and deep. The C-map chart is not very accurate but the entrance to the atoll is wide and deep and easily identifiable.

The anchorage is well protected from the NE.

OLIMARAO

Position:  7° 40.612'N 145° 52.436'E

Uninhabited with signs of temporary fishing activities of nearby atolls. The entrance to the lagoon is easily identifiable and straightforward. Protection from the NE close to the largest island.

ELATO

Position:  7° 29.672'N 146° 9.660'E

This place is a true gem with an appreciative and generous community. The island is beautiful, the water is clean and the insects are minimal. Elato has just over 100 inhabitants and is usually bypassed because most yachts stop at Lamotrek just 10 miles off. The chief is John, who doesn't speak much English, but the whole population is very welcoming.

The entrance to the lagoon is easily identifiable and there are buoys inside the lagoon marking two shallow spots. Anchorage is protected from the NE.
