We had decided to stay a second night in this comfortable port, even though it meant self catering again. The weather was following a pattern - cold and grey in the mornings but gradually warming up during the day. Crew changed the bed and put the machine on, hoping for some good,drying weather later and Skip did his usual supermarket run, intending to find the boulangerie for bread. However the bread he brought back was purchased in the supermarket.......in Skips' words 'Couldn't be ars...d to walk further up the hill'! Steve and Janette on Calypso arrived in port around 11 o'clock and when Janette walked by later Crew invited them for drinks at 6 p.m. So, after lunch, Crew set about preparing a Thai (style) Chicken Curry for our meal after aperos.
It started to rain so there was a rush to bring the washing in - again no rain was forecast!
Steve and Jeanette duly arrived and it was nice to get to know them as we had met three years ago in Moissac but as it was at the Fete Nautique that the Capitainerie had organised there were a lot of people there and we didn't really have much contact. We whiled away a very pleasant couple of hours or so then they went their way for their dinner and Crew put the finishing touches to the curry.
We still managed to dine outside but went below afterwards for more Line of Duty then bed.
