Personal Notes
- We found the marina staff very helpful indeed. They check on lines when you are away, which contributes to making this a good place to leave a boat. The fees are a little high, but probably worth the money. In June 2010 there was plenty of room in the marina. The island itself is stunning, and very well worth a visit. "Wild Heron"
