We woke to a very wet boat - it must have rained quite a bit overnight. It also felt pretty chilly at 11c and fairly windy - a shock to the system after many days of searing heat!!
After drying off the boat, Skip went to the nearby supermarket for some supplies - we are aware that fairly soon we will be in the wilderness, with no possibility of restocking! Henk took his electric bike into Joinville as his phone was on its’ last legs and he wanted to research a new one. Also he can bring the heavy things without too much effort. On our way to the supermarket we booked a table for dinner in the hotel.
We had to lunch below as it was still cold and windy up top, then had a few hours rest.
We partook of our usual aperitifs on the back deck though as a little sunshine had appeared, then made our way over to the hotel at 8 for dinner. The food was pretty good, if a little expensive, although Henks’ tournedos did not come as expected. He had asked for it to be served ‘bleu’ thinking it would be beef, however it turned out to be veal and was too well done for his liking so the chef appeared and remedied the situation.
Digestifs were taken below and we chatted until almost midnight.
