Nissan Island/Green Island - Docking
Anchorage for Green Islands.
The anchorage provides good shelter from both the SE trade winds and the NW monsoon winds. There is a good sandy bottom that holds the anchor well, although in some places the bottom is patchy so it pays to find a sandy spot and snorkel on your anchor to check it has dug in.
The people here are extremely friendly and you will likely be surrounded by canoes from the village on arrival. The villagers are always keen to trade garden foods such as greens, fruits green coconuts and yams or sweet potatoes for rice, noodles or biscuits.
Go ashore to the village to introduce yourself to the chief and sign his guest book. In years past up to 20 yachts a year have visited this Island, but since the pandemic, few yachts have travelled this way. The village is easy to spot as there is a yacht anchored off the village.
There is reported to be a secure mooring at the front of Yotchibol village. No visiting vessels will be bothered by opportunists trying to trick people into paying non-existent anchorage fees (as occurs in other places). The local villagers keep a careful watch over any boats in the anchorage to make sure that no-one from another part of the island is straying too close.
