Yerakas with its deep the fjord it is an excellent all around shelter.
With a small yacht you can go side-to the small quay. Many cruisers do not find this very attractive and prefer instead to anchor off in 4-6 m.
The bottom is mud and although there may be some trouble, once the anchor digs in the holding is good.
