On the south east coast of Molokai, this little harbour is worth the effort of negotiating the entrance through the reef.

LYC painted on it. In 2010, these buoys were white and there were 7 of them. Most of them ...
This anchorage is supposed to be vile and generally lived up to its
reputation. It does, however, make a nice stop between Honolua Bay
and Oahu, but the wind blew harder in
the anchorage than out at sea.
Manele Harbor, located on Lanai’s south shore, has the only public boat
