Saturday 24th June - Nancy

All crew a little slow this morning but Gary and Tina were all packed up and ready to go well before 11 o'clock.  They had booked a taxi to take them to the bus station at 11.30 and Skip was going with them to book a ticket for his trip from Toul to St. Jean de Losne on Tuesday to go and collect the car. We were all present and correct outside the Capitainerie at 11.25 and waited.......and waited.....and waited!  Gary went to the Capitaine to get him to check that the cab was on its' way - they had left plenty of time but time was a wasting!!  When it got to midday, the Capitaine shut down the Capitainerie and took them himself - it was a bit of a tight squeeze with three of them and the luggage. He had his guitar in the boot so that had to be removed and Skip looked after it in the front seat!!  It turned out that our Capitaine was in a rock band! We had lunch on deck and while Crew went for a lie down, after a bit of a siesta, Skip went to the suspermarket.  We planned on dining in which Crew was very happy about as she hadn't cooked anything for about 10 days.  We had duck steaks and the plan was to have sauté potatoes too but when Crew took the potatoes out they were not fit for human consumption, so plan B.......pasta with vegetables!  It turned out not bad at all.  A loll on the back deck for a while, a DVD and bed.
