Zaliv Severo-Kuril'skiy (Kashiwabara Wan) (50°41'N., 156°08'E.), entered between Mys Opornyy (Ishikawa Saki) and Mys Voranova (Nagare Saki), 1.5 miles further N, offers anchorage in moderate depths about 0.5 mile offshore, close within the 20m curve. The holding ground of black sand is fairly good. The bight offers some shelter, but when W squalls from the mountains oppose the strength of the tidal current, a vessel may ride uneasily. There is some danger of dragging during strong winds.
