View of Portland Harbour from the slips between the castle and sailing academy. From right to left: Entry to the flimsy looking pier for boats has been blocked off for safety reasons; the path is part of the coast path and cycle route and turns to the right to skirt the Castle; the oblong modern building to the left of the castle is the sports/leisure centre; the commercial port is centre with two 4 year old Maltese registered cargo/bulk carriers the Seleina and Sarine 7300t DWT, laid up or awaiting orders, whilst the two "Phoenix" Mulberry Harbour units look immoveable as ever on the far left.
