Entry is safe and well marked with green and red buoys. Only with strong SE wind it is said to be rough at Salta Skerry at the entry of Balta Sound. Opposite the pier there is a marine farm (mussel lines). One can anchor in between pier and marine farm, but there are also two mooring buoys. We stayed one night at one of these and moved to the quay the next morning. There is water at the quay. In Symbister where we arrived in Shetland, we paid a fee of 35£ for the use of all quays in Shetland for one month = tarif 2023 (Lerwick not included -> private marina). Three shops on walking distance. Bus to south side of Unst possible, 2£ per person. There ferry goes from Belmont to Yell. Beautiful beaches, many birds, a castle. In Haroldswick there is a nice Heritage center, Boat museum. Cosy tearoom. Hermaness Nature Reserve is amazing. 30 minutes cycling. Norwick beach very nice as well.

Batlasound er en veldig flott område, som meget vel egner seg for sykkelturer, i det trivelige landskapet.
Trygg havn, absolutt best å ankre her, for kaiområdet er preget av forfall og mye rot fra oppdrett og fiskeri. Gruslasting på lastebåt gir masse støy og støv.
Havnssjefet er en hyggelig kar. Vi måtte ut med 20 pund for tre døgn. Dusj og toalett finnes i seilforeningens hus like ved, men her var forfallet påtagende.
