Recordist's notes
This was taken on a floating jetty. At the time there were a lot of tourists so the harbour was very busy and noisy, and there was nowhere to sit. I sat on the floating jetty where the sounds of the boats hitting and scraping against each other and their moorings blocked out most of the other sounds. Recorded with ZOOM H1, end of the recording was cut due to noise from the wind.
