fith reference to my Ho. 657 dated 27th November
actual experience has shc^n tnt t Khaesab Bay ie too much
exposed to the weatner during the winter months* to be
suitable for convoy assembly. I have therefore had to
revert to using Bandar Abbas anchorage as from l^th
De cemoe r.
2* In case the security measures at Bandar Abbas have
been relaxed as a result of my having stopped using the
place it is requested that they may be brought into force
again* and in view of recent uneasiness in +he Jask area*
that they may be made as effective as possible.
3. For information the actual convoy assembly enchorage
is in raid channel about 7 miles W.S.W* Bandar Abbas Town*
tnet is* as far west os depth of water will allow.
