Charlotteville in ink

I have my sketchbook into Charlotteville today. And do some ink drawings of the town: The tiny "Internet-shack" on the beach, the "cockroaches", wooden fishing boats with two long bamboo fishing poles sticking out on each side, with pelicans on the bow, large outboards astern...

At 5pm "Bonanza" draws anchor and departs "Pirates' Bay". Hope to meet again further down the line. So it's just "Babette" and "Snorre" at "Gail's" this evening for more spicy corn soup and kingfish and shrimp. Then a stop at "Babette" for banana cake on the way home.

The swell is down now, moon going into it's half phase. No wind, the boats bobbing and rocking, the occational anchor-light swaying. Stars above and fireflies twinkling in the black hillside. It's quiet, just a gentle surf's muffled roll up the strand.
