Some basic maintenance first thing on Saturday morning, well maybe not quite first thing, then after a short dinghy ride we had a great day exploring Tryphena Harbour, several bays, cafés, shops.
The locals lived up to their reputation and were very friendly, gave us lifts, took us to the local emporium where I found multiple copies of “Going Green” for a dollar each so I bought some. (Now my kids know what their Xmas pressies are). It seemed that they use to be $5 each but the locals are clearly so green already that they don’t need them, hence the massive reduction. It was a store with everything and one the locals seemed quite proud of.
Found a pottery and a strange boat/plane.
It wouldn’t take long to get a feel for the Island which had the best of both worlds for those who wanted to escape the rat race. Plenty of seclusion but good transport connections with the mainland. The tide was up and the bay calmer by the time we had returned to the dinghy. So much so that we have decided to go back to shore to the Irish Pub in Pah Bay a bit later. Could be quite a way in the dinghy so will take toothbrushes with us in case the wind gets up again.
