Mooring
Stern-to or bows-to in the harbour is not advisable as the holding is not the best .There is not a lot of room during the summer season and it gets really crowded especially with flotillas who are making rafts along side-to , ask them to park your boat to their rafts if you don’t find any space i’m sure that they will help you . Try to avoid the floating pontoons at the north side as they get uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous by the ferries’ wash during the night . Stern-to the outside of the mole with a long line to it is another safe option as the winds during the summer is usually NW & W
