Mutton Bay is set in a kind of bowl, well protected by islands just off the coast and by high, surrounding hills. The main part of the bay is like the palm of a hand, from which three fingers extend farther inland. The main part of the bay is known as The Harbour and the three fingers are called Snuff Box, The Bottom, and La Baie des Bateaux The village is spread out around the shoreline, primarily around The Harbour and The Bottom. The photo here was made in the late afternoon and looks across The Harbour to what is known as The Western Side.

The fishing boat drawn up on the rock is supposed to be undergoing a refit, although I have not seen anyone near it for the past month. The small white object beside it is actually an old, open-style boat, apparently abandoned to the elements, with its inboard motor exposed and coated with rust.

On the hill behind the boats can be seen a large crevice and several smaller ones running down the side of the hill. They are at points where seams of an entirely different type of rock split through the ususal pink granite. It is an odd phenomenon, so regular that up close it almost looks as if it had been created by a master mason.
