At the head of the pier the depth of water is about
two metres, at the inner berths it is about three at
the very end, and alongside the sides about two.
On the lighthouse itself there are signs banning
anchoring, primarily because of the passenger
ship that ties up here every day, linking Susak and
Mali Lošinj.
If there is no place in the harbour, we will very
likely find some opposite the sandy beach Susak
is famed for. It is located in Bok Bay. What is
more, it is said that bathing from the beaches of
Susak helps women who would like to have
children but find it difficult to conceive.
You have to anchor a hundred metres or so from
the beach, because the coast deeps down very
gently. Behind the beach rise mountains of sand,
into which some of the many visitors have dug
real caves. They sometimes spend several days in
them, revelling in all the particularities of the
island. At the end of the beach close to the town is
a well of brackish water, which is perfectly
acceptable for showering in.
On the other side of Susak, although we
constantly say it is an island of sand, we will
come upon a rocky shore. Since Bok Bay is
exposed to all the winds from the first quadrant, it
is good to know of the shelter in Tiseni Bay.
Sailing further along the island after Tiseni Bay,
making use of the chart tomake sure we don't get
stuck on some shoal, we can sail into Suzanski
Bay. On the southern short of Susak, Porat Bay
has snuck deep into the island. Probably this is
the best anchorage on the whole of the island
during the bora. Here too we have to anchor at
some distance from the coast, because once again
the bottom slopes down very gradually into deep
water.
After Susak, insofar as we have not fallen in love
with it, the journey leads us to Mali Lošinj or
Ilovik. In fact, we have already reached them
once before in this guide, during our first
itinerary.
