Sorry, but we will be posting really exciting pictures when there’s something really exciting to see.  Took photos yesterday of 90 litres of water being loaded onto the boat.  Today recced the local market – which is very good – and we will order all our fresh produce from one of the stalls there.  I have spent today greasing the rubber seals around the windows and Tom’s had his head under the sink looking for a leak – OK so its 24C here, but its not all sunshine and roses!   Booked a hair appointment for Saturday, and might even get Tom to have the thought that he can do with one too!  Andy and Mark arrive on Saturday and they have a boys weekend planned at a five star hotel – might gate-crash if only to use the bathroom.  Not sure any of my current clothes are smart enough to be seen anywhere else in the place!

 

More and more boats are arriving and the entertainment of the day is watching disgruntled smaller boats being shoved off the pontoon to make room for the “posh” charter/racing boats.  Fortunately we believe we are too big to get moved.  Have made friends with the dog next door – Pogo – a real life version of Tolstoy – he’s handsome enough for a picture so will get the camera out for him.  His owner works around the marina and poor Pogo is left for long stretches by himself, though everyone on the pontoon gives him lots of pats and attention.
