At mile 2 is pension mila 2 with 2 pontoons in the river. Water and electricity can be brought to the pontoon.

If you have a shallow enough draft of 1.5 m, you can potter about the broader avenues in the Delta and anchor in the still waters there. The canals are wonderfully peaceful and offer a safe haven from the noise of Sulina.
