Description

Isla Grande, with its W side nearly 1 NM W of Punta Vial, is very conspicious.

An islet is at the extremity of a reef wich extends about 0,2 NM NE from the NE end of Isla Grande.

The channel between Isla Grande and Punta Vial is about 0,5 NM wide, deep, and clear of dangers.
A heavy swell sets through the channel, and it is not recommended for any vessel.

Isla Grande, avec son côté W à près de 1 MN à l'W de punta Vial, est très remarquable.

Un îlot se trouve à l'extrémité E d'un récif qui s'étend sur environ 0,2 MN au NE à partir de l'extrémité NE d'Isla Grande.

Le passage entre Isla Grande et Punta Vial est large d'environ 0,5 MN, profond et clair de tout danger.
Un fort courant passe dans le passage, et il n'est pas recommandé de l'emprunter pour tous les bateaux.
