DESCRIPTION. Port Slade is a fishing harbour with alongside berths and visitors’ moorings just off the Town Quay. Excellent shelter at the Town Quay or on the visitors’ buoys.
APPROACH WAYPOINT. 45°50’.53N 005°48’.86W.
PILOTAGE NOTES. NB. The Neptune Islands are an IALA ‘B’ (red to starboard) region. The main hazards are the strong tidal streams and the many rocks around the islands. The entrance channel to Port Slade is on the SW corner of the island, to the W of the conspic Linards Point and the Lt Ho. The channel is well marked by lateral and cardinal buoyage, most of which are lit. In settled conditions, it is possible to shortcut the buoyed channel and use the Cow and Calf channel (FS and Bn 070°) N of Glyn Reef.
