It frequently happeus that a vessel coming towards the port with a north-west wind will find a southerly wind at the entrance. If there is any sea at the time, and the wind blows strong out, which is generally the case in winter, care should be taken to avoid missing stays in the vicinity of the Carabela bank, as there is no room to anchor, and the flood tide sets directly on to the bank, which nearly always breaks when there is any sea.

Keep this chapel in sight above the cliffs until abreast Pancha islet, when steer into the inlet towards the middle of Arnao bay, until Cabancla point, the most projecting point south of the town of Rivadeo, is ...
