Bahia Hugh (50°24'S., 74°45'W.), on the E side of the canal, is entered 2.7 miles NNE of Cabo Childers. The entrance is encumbered by a group of islets and rocks, dividing it into two passages. Either passage can be used, but Entrada Norte is the preferred entrance as it is the wider and straighter of the two. Anchorage may be obtained in the bay S of Islas Middle, in depths of 31 to 54m. The anchorage is sheltered from all but NW winds, and even during these no sea is felt.
