    All Alone

    Very peaceful here - just us and the seals. Behind me, out of the entrance and across the fjord, is the little fishing village of Harbour Breton.

    Jersey Harbour

    We are anchored between the end of the shingle spit and the shipwrecked trawler. The graves in the foreground remain from the settlement that was here until the clearance in the sixties.

    Many of the pubs had live music; found these guys early in the evening. Toutons are eaten for breakfast!

    A Quiet Place Now

    Of the few houses that are left, some are lived in, a few are museums. There used to be 2 rows of cottages with access at their backs to the sea and between them space to dry the cod.
