This rather fine looking vessel has been anchored outside the harbour on and off for the last few days. I haven't been able to find out anything about her but I suspect that she is home to a large contingent of very conspicuous bule (white) tourists seen roaming the streets the other day.

The usual harbour activity is more commercial, with daily arrivals and departures of larger ships and much loading (usually of bananas) and unloading (of everything else).
The harbour also serves as a departure point for many small ferries to neighbouring islands – here is one of them being loaded at the jetty, note the goat tethered at the bow ! The cargo includes motorbikes, steel reinforcing rods, drinking water and pretty much anything else you can think of.
Glad to see that you are still interested in sea going vessels - have you been following the fastnet?

Hi Al, no I haven't really been following it closely but wasn't surprised to see that Leopard took line honours - what a machine...
