We've got dry feet!  The second temporary repair to Tiny Dancer (our new name for DecaDance's wounded tender) has worked a treat and our trip ashore was uneventful.  The bad news was there was nothing decent in the notsosupermarket to go with roast veggies.  The good news was they had straight-out-of-the-oven french loaves so we had a couple of those with cold meats, cheeses, olives and alioli in the cockpit and it was like the best picnic you've ever had.

We didn't bother sticking the outboard back on Tiny Dancer.  Chris rowed her ashore and I rowed back.  I'm pretty good at rowing.  I'd be even better if I could do it in a straight line.  I enjoyed it so much I've been out by myself a couple of times today and I've now rowed to all three beaches in this little bay.  With all this sailing upper-body work and now rowing TD I'm going to end up with arms like Popeye, or - worse still - Madonna.  Tanned and toned, tanned and toned - that's what I'm hoping.  Gotta avoid those bingo-wings now I'm hitting the big four-oh-no.

The jelly-fish seem to have scarpared so we all chanced a swim today.  Only one jelly-fish spotted all day and yet one minor sting to be reported.  No prizes for guessing who.  At least it wasn't on the nipple.

At the restaurant where we found WiFi we asked about laptop repairs.  As luck would have it (for us not him), the restaurant owner had a broken computer and a chap coming round to fix it this morning.  After a quick phone-call we arranged for him to look at ours too.  He couldn't fix it here so has taken it to his office, which happens to be somewhere we'd planned to visit - and it has a post-office so we can send off Chris's broken glasses.  So we're off sailing again tomorrow.  All in all a successful day apart from the little incident with a big beanbag, and two leaking pipes on the water-maker.  It's no problem though - Chris is now an expert with sticky plasters - toes, tenders, beanbags - and PTFE tape too.  You name it, he can fix it.  Might have to re-name him Jim.
