Southeast Negros Oriental - Visayas - PhilippinesSafe Typhoon anchorage - Maximum recommended draft 15 feet. Max. water depth at anchorage about 6 fathoms (36 ft). At Tongo Sail Inn Beach Resort we listen on VHF channel 68 during daylight hours. We can see you from the Bar - Restaurant during your approach to the typhoon safe anchorage and can give "shore advice" in case you drift to the side of the channel. A suitable entrance point would be: You can safely approach the entrance point within a sector with bearings 345° - 050° to the entrance point. The bearings are given from seaward. From there you proceed on a (true) course of 343° to: which is in the middle of the channel. From there you keep due North until the northern land head on your starboard is abeam. Continue around the bend as seen in the picture below and up to the safe anchorage (Tambobo Bay). See also Sailing Directions. Tongo Sail Inn is one of the very few beach resorts in Philippines with a typhoon safe anchorage. The anchorage accommodates over 40 ocean going motor yachts and sailing boats. It was used already by the Spaniards when they arrived to Philippines with their galleons in the 16th century. It's probable they were using Polynesian pilots as the word "Tongo" means "mangrove" in Polynesian. |
