The place

The ordinary island, and it has to be excellent at being ordinary or none of the strange ones land. A deep bight with two horns nearly closing its mouth, so you come in through a gap and the weather stops; a working town on the flat; a hill at its back. Warm, busy, safe, the place a crew provisions and comes back to. The single wrong note is a planning decision: the cliffed shelf on the east headland looks down the throat of the harbour mouth, there is a new cut lane running up to it from the quay that the townspeople did not pay for, and the pier at the bottom of it takes a fee that was not charged last year. Nobody is angry yet.
