(Day 258) Anchors away

Wednesday Sept. 15, 2010

Well, we haven't been able to say that yet, although we're looking at potentially going on a 1-day trip by ferry to another island next week. We were looking for a cafe in Soroni this morning, but the one we found on the beach was still closed - and we were the only ones around. As we went to leave, I spotted this huge anchor perched in the middle of the traffic circle there. I could only guess at what size vessel this must have been used on - the links of the chain were enormous, as was the anchor itself. There's likely a very interesting story behind the anchor and the ship to which it was once attached, but there was no one to ask.

Great angle on the anchor, my eyes are carried right through to the white sandy beach & that blue ocean!

@becky - thanks becky; I actually started to drive off after finding the cafe closed, but stopped to make a couple of photos here.
