Valle de Banderas is the large deep hay
to the north-east-ward of Cape Corrientes,
extending from that cape to Punta Mita, and
is about 22 miles wide by 20 deep; it is said
to be frequented by whalers in the winter,
and to be clear of dangers with the exception
of the rocks olí Punta de Iglesia, about 5 miles
to the north-east of the cape.
Corralies harbour is a small harbour
about 3 miles to the eastward of Cape Cor
rientes, where shelter may be found by small
vessels from all winds except those from
north-west. The entrance is free from danger,
but the harbour is small and with very deep
water, 30 fathoms being found in its centre.
It is a basin otherwise in its perfect smooth
ness and safety, for a large ship could make
fast to the shore. During the south-west
gales the sea is reported to be smooth and
the wind but little felt. The land round the
harbour is thickly wooded, rising abruptly
from the sea, particularly to the southward
and westward. There are no inhabitants.
Punta de Iglesia lies N. E. 4 E- distant
about 4 miles from Cape Corrientes, and may
be known by a castellated rock, nearly a
mile from the coast. About one mil? to the
northward of this islet are two rocks, with
9 feet water on them, over which the sea
was seen to break; this part of the coast
should, therefore, uot be approached within
24 miles.
V ala pa. From Punta de Iglesia the land
trends about north-east for 14 miles to Point
Chimo, then E. by N. 4 N. 4| miles to Toigmola
point, from whence it runs E. \ N. 34 miles
to a break in the rocky shore called Yalapa,
formed by a small river of the same name.
This anchorage appears broader and the water
is reported as not being so deep as at Corra
lies. Ships loading with logwood anchor here
in about IT) or 20 fathoms. Shelter may be
found here during south-west gales.
