As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest. During the year April 2025 to March 2026 our travels included visits to many islands large and small. My theme for 2026 Island Hopping will give precedence to Islands visited in the past year but for those difficult letters like X and Z I will dig into my photo archives for content.
Whatever you call it, whether it is a Quay, Berth, Landing, Jetty, Pier, Wharf or Dock, it's a place where goods and people can be safely deposited on or collected from an island. It is an essential piece of Island infrastructure. Our Island Hopping adventures have given us many opportunities to use these facilities.
