Google earth showed an empty harbour. We found 80+ large fishing vessels berthed five deep, with none active overnight. Another yacht and ourselves failed to get anchors to hold in the harbour. He went alongside one fishing vessel, using dinghy to disembark. We put our bow to the small concrete jetty in NW of harbour, and got a grip with our danforth stern anchor. No restaurants, scruffy village no facilities. But...

....a wedding involved the entire village with dancing and music. Local girls wore saffron headscarves and spangled red salwars. Men and women danced to traditional music. We were made warmly welcome, and given food. Memorable.
