Cape Doucere (16°28'S., 167°50'E.) is a low flat mangrove covered point, with a coral boulder 3m high, lying on the fringing reef close S of it. The point lies on the N side of Northeast Channel and is the SE point of Malekoula Island. Gaspard Point lies 0.5 mile SW of Cape Doucere. On the W side of Gaspard Point is an inlet used mainly by small craft because of the barrier of sunken rocks in the fairway. A vessel could obtain anchorage close inside its entrance, in 22m, in a position off the reef which extends about 0.3 mile SW from Gaspard Point. Caution should be used to avoid the reefs and Fairway Patches.
