Gibraltar
36:08.940N 5:21.304W This evening we have invited David & Lisa from Gyatso
over for dinner. Stephen spent most of the day cooking in preparation for
dinner (he seemed very happy down in the galley for the day creating). Anne on the other hand took care of the domestic chores and
a little retail therapy. She dropped the washing off at the laundry (it was 9kg,
no wonder we couldn’t find any clean clothes). She then went into town to
see if she could get the bikini she wanted (the shop get deliveries once a week
and Friday is the day the items are on the shelf). On her way back she picked
up the washing (now even heavier as it was wet). Back at the boat we hung out
as much washing as we could with the pegs we had. It was then onto cleaning the
boat. We both had a short interlude to work out where the pipes in
the forward heads went and how much pipe we need to buy in order to replace the
pipes (The answer is quite a lot of pipe in various sizes). We wanted to double
check it was a sensible arrangement and could not be simplified. Our conclusion
was it was a very clever design designed to save water but uses lots of pipes
to achieve this. We then started on the finishing touches for dinner. The dinner menu was: Tomato, basil and
cheese Galettes ~ Twice baked Goats
cheese soufflé Pesto rice salad Tomato salad Rocket salad ~ Lemon Tart with crème
fraiche We had a lovely evening. Once again Stephen excelled himself
in the galley – it was the first time he has tried soufflés and they
worked brilliantly. |
