NOTES DATED MARCH 2014 www.yacht mrjohn.blogspot.com No one to my knowledge has had much nice to say about Galle Harbour in the last twenty years or so Thus I write with pictures, so that you will be the judge and decide. For sure, you cannot judge a country by its port, I certainly wouldnt want to do that in the UKand we should not do it here. Sri Lanka is a magnificent place and in parts in parts, is exceptionally beautiful. Even in Galle town, the old Fort area is quite attractive. The harbour is a different matter. They are building a Marina. No one seems to have the plan, no one seems to hav e talked to anyone who has dealings with the yachtsthis is one of those Government idea s that is doomed to fail and most likely do more harm than good. They are expanding the harbour to get more ships in. As an ex mariner, I can tell you, Ships and Yachts do not sit well together! Here we go then They tell me You need an Agent why I really dont know!
