[status] Anchored in Utche Bay, SW Aneityum Island, Vanuatu. This anchorage is only 2 miles from the main anchorage at Anelghowhat (Analgawat) Bay and is 1 mile from Jnmal (Inmal) Reef where there is supposed to be good diving. Even with a SE wind of 15 kts, a slight swell entered the bay which might make it more suitable for catamarans than mono hulls, but it is more protected from SE wind waves than the main harbor. The waves on the Jnmal (Inmal) reef were too large with 15+ kts of wind to dive from a dinghy, but might be comfortable in less than 10 kts of wind.
[weather]Wind 10 kts E (in the lee of the island), swell 1.3 meters (outside bay), 30% cloud cover, pressure 1017
