If the harbour is quiet or outside the busy summer season it may be possible to lie alongside. There are a limited number of bollards on the jetty (just three), so it is easier lying alongside than on anchor-moor. Shelter on the jetty is good except in S winds when there is an unpleasant swell in the harbour. | ||
