Title: Shuffle boats

Saturday - we wake to a warm sunny morning, which is great because it’s shuffle boat time. We’re third out on the raft and both inside boats want to go as do the inside boats further along. It’s all very pleasant standing around chatting, passing lines and waiting for people to get ready. The shuffle ends with us next to the pontoon, which is perfect because it means we can leave Juniper and stay with Mike and Wendy, who live nearby. By the time they arrive for lunch it’s raining and the forecast is dismal, so it’s wonderful to go home with them. So no more blog until Tuesday, enjoy the break.
