Bau Bau - Docking
The anchorage is off the very prominent KFC restaurant and holding is good once the anchor is set, in sand and coral rubble in about 12m. The shelter is good from all directions, although the fetch is quite long to the north and could make it difficult to land. It is a popular anchorage with the few remaining sailing trading boats.
Landing can be made amongst the outrigger canoes at the nearby steps.
The town is close by with most services available, including water, laundry and a good market. Diesel is available at the fish dock about 1 mile to the west.
Mukmin is an excellent local contact who speaks good English and can be contacted on 081245872001 or email mrmkm_37@yahoo.com

Rehua 26_10_2017,
Social Visa extensions are a joy to complete in Wanchi, Wakatobi. The officials in the office even prepaid our fees in the bank to save us taxis. Supplies are available but limited, no fuel when we were here.
The anchorage is safe inside the lagoon a new pass has been cut, (ignore the current google images) enter leaving the coral breakwater to port and the concrete tower to STB. head slowly through the lagoon it’s approx. 3m at a mean low in points. there is a 14-meter section with excellent holding clear of the fishing vessels.
