We tied up at the fuel dock last night at 10pm.  When we opened the sweepstake envelope we found that we had all guessed the 29^th.  Steve at 15:45, Me at 20:00 and both Adam and John at 23:30.  So they shared the prize money all of which was soon spent on drinks at Cafe Sport.  We needn’t have worried about missing last call as they stay open to 2AM.  John’s first time guess was 15:50 nearly the same as Steve’s but he had crossed it out.  

This morning we took on nearly 900 litres of fuel and completed the check in.  We were asked to raft up to a 100 foot Swan the crew of which clearly didn’t want another boat any  where near them.  When the Capitanierie “invited” them to leave the marina in that case, they changed their minds.  This is a delivery crew and although the boat is only 4 yeas old it has just had a $500,000 refit, including a new paint job, which we pointed out was the same colour as our new paint job.

I enclose a few snaps of our approach.  I particularly like the “Rock Face.”
