The Village At Present
The port now provides a centre for pleasure boating and sailing, it has moorings, a marina and a well-developed accompaniment of yacht support businesses, including rigging, sail making and boatyards. The village also has holiday accommodation. The local sailing club is very active, with dinghy racing held on Saturday afternoons, and Wednesday and Friday evenings. A by-pass constructed in 1993/4 has removed much of the traffic that congested the main street for many years.

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or present:
“The village appeared to me a great news room.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
