Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries; winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, which shapes when the island's calendar is busiest. Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer. Seafood is central to island food: crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats.
