Seamans day - Sjómannadagur


Pictures are at the bottom...

Sjómannadagur, or seaman's day, is the only day of the year when all the boats are in town. The seaman have dances and big parties, and contests and displays. I always like the fish displays, showing all the sorts of fish that come up in the nets, but I didn't take as many pictures of them this year. Clever archaeologists can go back up to the gallery list and find previous year's events.

It's still a nice day, but it didn't really feel as well put together this year, a lot more haphazard. Not a very pleasant day either though.
