10.30 on 20 December 2013. Anchored in harbour, the view doesn't live up to preconceived ideas of a tropical island with a shell fuel depot and the island is mostly volcanic rock and sand and is more like a desert, not much sign of palm trees! However the locals seem friendly and the anchorage is safe.
