Description

Two White Rocks, 5m high and close together, lie about 4 miles WNW of Baindur Head, and are very prominent when the sun shines on them.

Single Rock, 3m high, lies about 2 miles N, and a rock awash lies about 0.8 mile SSE, respectively, of Two White Rocks.

Caution.—Although the area inside the above dangers has been examined and dangers found, it is possible that others may exist.

It is recommended, therefore, that vessels should not attempt to pass inside them, and they should keep in depths of more than 20m between Hog Island and Coondapoor.
