Weatherall's not much of a tourist spot. As space stations go, it's bare-bones: a small population, a lot of machinery, and very limited entertainment possibilities.
It is, however, an excellent spot for a small merchant craft to dock and refuel, and get her systems checked over to make sure the recently replaced air cyclers are still functioning well. Not that there have been any problems, but air cyclers are the kind of component one really doesn't want malfunctioning, and it's always better to be sure. Home port's Earth, but she's a long way from there.
If the ship's owner has any more nebulous reasons for venturing out this way -- well, he's keeping his own counsel about them. It's a perfectly reasonable route, anyway.
