After the mammoth cleaning session, we went for a walk in the Port Vauban. This private port contains a great flotilla of the most diversely flagged yachts I've ever seen. What links Douglas, Bridgetown, St Helier, St Peters Port, etc.? They're all flags of convenience.
There seems to be a simple rule about navigation equipment. If the boat never puts to sea, and it is clear that lots don't, then it needs at least two radars and three satellite position domes. The working fishing boats here, which go out in all weathers, and fish far out at night, make do with a torch.
There were lots of fish in the harbour, grey mullet by the look of them. Normally they are attracted by things like sewage outflows. Must be the boats...
