Inhambane
23º 52' S, 35º 23' E.
Background
Historic details & submit details about the sailing in the area, etc.
Approach
The bar is dangerous in rough seas! You should only enter on a roughly 3/4 incoming tide as currents can be very strong. The buoys are not always in place but the author approached from east to the position where the fairway buoy should be and then the following waypoints can be used as a rough guide:
Note: The details below (2004) need to be reconfirmed.
Fairway buoy - Approach from the east to where it should be per the chart.
No.1 Black buoy - 23º39'.29 S, 35º29'.65 E
No.2 Red buoy - 23º39'.72 S, 35º28'.70 E
No.4 Red buoy - 23º40'.42 S, 35º27'.81 E
Across the bar the channel is very visible - follow the chart, watching your passage in the channel. Use binoculars as the buoys (if in place) are far apart.

Anchorages
- Linga Linga Point. The author, on numerous occasions, anchored with good holding in sand near the old wreck behind Linga Linga Point. Ensure your anchor is well set as a strong tidal current runs in the lagoon. There is a holiday lodge ashore and supplies are available from the town of Maxixe nearby. This is a good place to hide from any oncoming weather fronts.
- Ponta da Barra. This is the southern headland of Inhambane bay. The author 'rode out' a SW gale here in absolute calm for three days. Good holding in sand off the small palm-fringed beach in the southern headland corner near the point. Move immediately at the first sign of the wind turning to NE.
