Neil didn't arrive on board until about 10.30 so by the time he fitted the new pump, it was midday......a little worrying because we had booked a table for us and Henk at 12.45 in the delectable restaurant, La Tour Sarrasine in Poilhes, halfway between Capestang and Colombiers. We all had a prawn cocktail with citrus fruits - which sounds odd but worked really well on such a hot day (reaching temperatures of over 30 degrees now!). The quality of the food was excellent.
We arrived in Colombiers just after 3 p.m. and moored stern to near where we were last year. Unfortunately the water level had been reduced in the port as rain had been expected, which didn't arrive, which made our stern have to plough through the mud to get tied off!
We arranged with Henk to go for a beer or two at 6 p.m. - then a lazy evening on a wonderfully cooling back deck........hard work, this living!!
13 km. 1 1/2 hours (excluding lunch!)
