We rigged up the Tinker and did a spot of dinghy sailing, I was thankful for the reefing main as we had 20 knots blowing through, thankfully we did not capsize as there'd be far too much baling required for my liking.  Asia and I sailed up to another Ensigned boat that had four kids aboard to try to arrange some play time and were promptly invited for a beer.  We stayed and Richard the owner ferried us back to collect Denise and Aranya.  The kids all played, we drank beer and Richard took everyone for rides in the donut around the boat - he has a 15hp 2 stroke which is exactly what I am trying to get hold of.  You cannot buy a new 2 stoke in Europe any more as they don't meet emission standards.  Why do I want a 2 stroke?  Because a 15hp 2 stoke weighs the same as a 5hp four stroke, we have a Honda 5 but it is a bit gutless and is about as much weight as I want to hang on the guard-rail.

 

Then we spotted Richards seats, wee chairs that have no frame and fold to nothing.  These things are great for the beach as you can sit up in them, and back on the boat they are easy to store.  We have been looking for some of these for a long time but the last ones we saw were American, so are these ones.  Anyway we asked where he bought them and he gifted them to us, came with the boat - never get used he said.  Cool, this visit is turning out well, then he brought up the subject of his 3 fold up bikes and the need to dump the older rusty one of them, so now we have a (old rusty) fold up bike!
