  • S Y Moksha. (LOA 72 feet, draught with keel raised 2.5m) March 2012. Local people are helpful and friendly.. Police building staff are friendly and helpful. We stayed on the police dock for 7 days including 3 days of winds ranging from 35 to 55 sustained knots with gusts to 60 knots from the north. Police building offers protection. Protruding ledge on dock is not a problem if wind is from the north but in anything from the south on the high tide the ledge is likely to be a major problem.
