Friday 11^th July 2008

Casual morning spent sorting out the boat and getting ready for setting sail on Saturday, as we suspected that we might not get the chance later!

Around 11.00am we walked up to the Rock Hotel to join our friends Cathy, Richard and Franchesca Hunter at their hotel pool. Very nice day spent mostly gossiping and a bit of swimming as well as a pleasant lunch. (I have promised not to mention Richard’s choice of Beefburger & Chips!).

Returned to the marina around 5 pm and found both Sea Lion and Scott Free from the rally were moored on our pontoon. A quick catch up turned into a social drink or three and suddenly it was 8 pm and Cathy, Richard and Franchesca were standing at the marina gate as agreed, for a tour of Serafina and a pre-dinner drink! We then went with them to a fish restaurant on the east side of the Rock and had a great evening, returning to the marina around 1pm.
