Routes to/from
Lord Howe Island must be approached from the west if you wish to moor in the lagoon. If approaching from the east (NZ) side, sail around to the west side of the island and come in via the north western passage into the lagoon.
You must radio ahead on VHF 16 advising of approach. The local police/water rescue/customs folks will find you a mooring if there is one available. Moorings are limited, and so in peak seasons prepare for some disappointment if none are available.
