6th July
Awoke to the sound of workmen and heavy machinery!
Found to our surprise that they were going to start mixing cement and begin to
resurface the whole of the area alongside our boat.We decided to check out if
there was any room on the other side of the marina where we could go
alongside, as luck would have it a French boat was making an early start
for Greece and was just leaving a mooring which was ideal for us, we quickly got
the engines running and moved in as they departed.Another boat also had the same
idea but we just beat them to it!!
As we were up early decided to get the bikes and
check out the garages.Met up with another couple on a catamaran who needed to
know where the nearest supermarket was.After giving them information we decided
to meet up later at the pizza restaurant for a drink and chat to exchange
sailing stories.
Managed to fill 4 fuel cans at a more reasonable
rate of 1.42 a litre at a garage around 3kms away from the marina and
then had a hot cycle back. We were later informed that the fuel truck that comes
to the marina will not fill a boat with less than 200 litres of fuell
and the cost is 1.60 a litre for diesel!
As the beaches around here are quite lovely decided
to take a picnic to the beach and spend the afternoon swimming and
reading.Really lovely!
 No one around for miles! Swimming is a bit limited
due to quite an undertow.
 Later that night had drinks with Bodo, Angelica and
Lulu.
 Had quite a few pleasant evenings in the company of
our German friends during our stay in Rochella Ionica.
