Yesterday Skip arranged for an engineer to come and fit a brand new impeller for us and ask him about our bilge pump and radio (the pump was shorting out and the radio just suddenly stopped working about 5 days ago for some reason). Franz came over and said he could do it but that we should ask the franchisee at the port first - if they couldn't do it then he would be happy to oblige.
We asked Henk if he wanted to walk into town with us for a cold beer........silly to ask really!! He was across the bridge and joining us in no time! We had a couple of thirst quenching beers in the shade in a bar/ restaurant in the square - then, somehow Arthur turned up to join us. We decided to take lunch there as well, although Arthur declined - he had some shopping to do.
It has felt so much hotter for the last couple of days due to the fact that the pretty heavy wind had died down to practically nothing that a siesta is a necessity! Then around 7 o'clock we were invited over to Arthurs' boat for drinks. As he had no white or rose wine, we bought three bottles of dry Muscat which was being sold at a wine tasting near Arthurs' boat - before we knew it, it was 10 o'clock so we thought it polite to take our leave and head back.
