Nalauwaki Bay, Waya Island - the Village around the corner
First anchorage: To the right of the village as you enter (but beware of breaking reef extending from western shore), just off the rock outcropping between the village beach and the western beach; 30 ft sand bottom.
Second anchorage: 17deg16.36'S, 177deg07.1E; 37 ft, sand bottom; left of village as approach, at stream head.
Safety: Both anchorages can be somewhat rolly, and many people put out a stern anchor.
Well-protected from usual tradewinds, but not from northerlies or northwesterlies.
Ashore: Nalauwaki Village, traditional and very friendly� Must present sevu-sevu to chief if going ashore. Beaches gorgeous, good shelling; watch out for large pigs (!).
Nice walk across peninsula saddle to Liku-Liku Bay on western side of island, where there is a backpacker's resort (hey that's us!) with perfect beach, small beach bar; glorious snorkeling on reef there.
Bottom line: Really nice; worth seeing.
