We had a good downwind sail here and went back to moor alongside the trawler restaurant.

This time I had a walk up into the town on the headland. It is much bigger than I expected. You get a good view of the harbour.

The town or village has a mix of buildings. I like the traditional wooden buildings.

This one is a bit of project. There are others on the Main Street in slightly better order.

The town must have been fortified at some time. This gate is on the only road in.

Walking back to the harbour there were some cows grazing. They seem to be free range.

I had my supper on the trawler and had a chat with some of the family.

The larger commercial fishing boats are not allowed to fish during the summer to preserve fish stocks. The restaurant trawler becomes a proper fishing boat in the permitted season.
