Again the power borne was onshore, even over some water so it was quite an art for Skip to reach it! Both the canopy and the sun shades were put up straight away as we were well into the 30s again and no breeze to cool us down. I understand that the rest of Northern Europe is having the same heatwave!
We rested and had some lunch, in between helping another boat onto the pontoon. Shortly afterwards another boat arrived and rafted onto that boat. Then just before Crew retired to the relative cool of the cabin for a read, a lone Swedish sailor arrived in his yacht and asked to raft alongside us, which we helped him to do. I don’t know, we don’t see a boat for days and now we are five boats moored on a three boat pontoon!!
When Crew emerged from below just before 5 p.m. Skip suggested a walk into town to seek out the elusive Champagne, as our Swedish friend had gone ashore and returned with three bottles. We walked all around the village (uphill most of the way!) and although there were lots of Champagne houses, none seemed available for a degustation. On returning to our start point we discovered a board advertising a degustation at the Martin champagne house, so Skip went off to find it whilst Crew returned to Aphrodite as it was by now, raining.
Luckily the storm had passed over us by the time the football started and we had a cold collation for our dinner in between watching the match - the famous England v Colombia where we broke with tradition and won on penalties!!! Wonders will never cease!
A bit more TV then bed.
4 km. I lock. 1/2 an hour!
