Soundproofing on a boat is practically
non-existent, totally so with all the hatches open to promote a nice cooling
air-flow. Yesterday morning I woke particularly early to the sound of hoards of
screeching gulls, I can only presume the fishermen were heading home with the
day's catch. This morning it was a symphony of foghorns – above me there's clear
blue sky through the two hatches above our bed, but it seems that's not the case
off-shore.
Yesterday was a day of 'chores'; Chris's
head is considerably less fluffy after a visit to the barbers and our cupboards
and fridges are fully stocked thanks to a trip to the most profitable branch of
Morrison's in the world. Not for long as there's the inevitable branch of Tesco
due to be opened soon.
Apart from half a jigsaw and a couple of
crosswords we didn't achieve much else due to the heat – that's not a complaint
by the way. In the evening we headed out to Ocean Village to meet up with Robin,
a guy I worked with many years ago who lives out here. You can't beat a good
catch up over an ice-cold beer. We're not leaving today – we're still waiting
for a parcel to arrive and we found the most amazing restaurant last night that
we just have to visit. But we love it here so what's the
rush?!
