After two days at sea we decided to have a couple
in port and go to the beach. Also we needed to get the Gelcoat repairs done from
where eXhilarance hit the dock in Bonifacio after a change in wind direction.
But first off it was some boat maintenance and back
to school. Clive cleaned out the block bilge pump while all three boys did some
school work (Jack did level 5 maths, Harry did times tables and William did some
maths (helped by Harry)).

 Back to school
Then went to the beach - a 500m walk to a very nice
sandy beach - only problem was it was packed. Jack ended up befriending some
Italians with a football and after that we introduced them to Rugby.
We all had a play in the waves and generally had a
good time. Afterwards Vicks kindly oferred to babysit so Susie and I could have
a meal out together - after walking round for 30 mins we eventually ate in the
Marina restaurant which was fine but not stunning - we now have a recommendation
for tonight.
