Sunday 5 July Girls do fantastic riverside market before departing on ebb for Pauillac 50k

Interesting night with the odd log scraping by on the strong ebb. Turn D`fly round at LW to be bows on to flood. Much more comfy. Can`t depart till after HW so plenty of time for girls to explore ashore and fantastic riverside food market about ½ mile downstream.  Arrive Pauillac just before LW. Lots of mud showing. Try edging in with keel up but ebb flowing thro harbour pilings sweeps us dangerously close and without any obvious buoyed channel decide to reverse out and anchor up till after LW. Eventually see a number of local yachts exiting, so retrace their track and enter with sharp blind turn to stbd. HM assistant is now HM! Get mast ready for hoisting tomorrow.
