First, I couldn´t get a clue what was going on but once I reached the small pier protecting the harbour basin, I realized that the sea wasn´t stirred up by some wicked currents but by a good-sized shoal. Fishermen and women were occupying that pier and pulling out fish from the sea in a frenzy.

I watched the feast for a while and then drover over to the west side of the peninsula. This was probably the most exposed part of this coast and it was absolutely flat again. I scratched my head and headed further south with the next stop at a large black sand beach framed by lava headlands. Here finally a few ripples were goffering the ocean surface, but these were created by a local onshore wind. I pondered going out for a windsurf session but decided it was not worth the effort.

To make the best of the rest of the sunny day I decided to have a look at the Seitun sulphurs again. Returning to specific places during different daytime and lighting is something I do quite often, and I almost never get disappointed. Most of the time the repetition is far from boring but offers new and deeper impressions.
