I went ashore this morning to clear in. The town dock at the foot of the town, access to main street and the Catholic church which still chimes the bells in the morning and evening with special efforts on Sunday morning.
The town dock was reconstructed several years ago with a nice new dinghy friendly version. It was damaged some time over the past two summers when storm surge ruptured the deck planking which is now scattered around the dock area.
The buildings in town are uniquely painted - looking like I would imagine buildings along the coast in France might look.
This picture is for you Greg!
Earlier in the day this small booth is a fresh fruit/veggie vendors area. In the early afternoon it is turned into a local delicacy shop.
I went back in to town several times in an attempt to get some cash out of the Bank Postale machine which had been out of order. Saw an IP-380 come in and anchor so stopped by to say hello - nice folks from the Land Down Under. They are awaiting a weather window and are planning their next stop in Falmouth, Antigua
And a picture of Gra'inne at anchor.
