02 · A good day
Take the ferry as part of the story.
The crossing, the walk, and the beach all belong to the same experience. Leave enough time to explore without turning the island into a race from one stop to the next.
03 · A local note
Pack light, stay curious.
An island day rewards simple plans and attention to changing conditions. The less you carry into it, the more you notice.
