Just had time for a brief morning swim. Not quite so many jellyfish this time The beach is alongside our side of the harbour and so it's only a few yards to walk. Then the weather forecast came true and most of the day was heavily overcast with long periods of rain. Decided to stay and then explore when the weather cleared. Eventually we went out for a run across the island to the N end.

2 notable things: There are a number of substantial old farmsteads similar to those seen elsewhere. This suggests that agriculture has long been prosperous.
The other was a little Russian Orthodox church complete with onion - shaped spire on the top. Alongside was a building with doors labelled 1 to 4. Maybe rooms for visitors? Also a set of bells on a small frame on the ground. Sorry no pics - not a good time to carry the phone.
