The wine and beer is on ... Some water... 15 varieties of hot dog. A lettuce is being delivered this morning to fend off scurvey and keep the green munching motleys on board happy. Yesterday confirmed much that had been thought about why the Spanish economy is not well. There is a coffee retail shop in the marina with wall to wall tins of coffee. Conversation as follows:
Me: ahh good sir I see you sell coffee
Him: coffee? Coffee??? Chnoo vee chno sell ze coffee
Me: but my good man your walls are lined with coffee
Him: zat no coffee
Me: looks like coffee to me !
Him: chno for you you chno have
Me: thank you my man whilst calling our final crew member in Headless Cross near Birmingham due out today.
Me: Claretta where are you ?
Claretta: Eeeh oop in Morrisons
Me: do they sell coffee?
Claretta: yes
Me: bring lots
Sorted !
Muttering amongst motleys we will need to tow the dinghy behind across the Atlantic as a support vessel for beer. Looking at logistics
