Rotary meeting

Tuesday 0130







Woken by a text from Mary re wine and late Bed and Breakfast guest. Thanks love!!
Lay awake listening to the NE blowing, which is not the wind you want for laying in Braye habour. Decided to postpone the decision to go until midday tomorrow.
Must have slept as Vasco complained about the snoring! The nerve of the man!

0800
Bacon and eggs on board and a stroll around the crap restaurants of Cherbourg, admired the fish markets.









Coffee and back to boat for lunch. Wind dropping.
Put 1 1/2 litre of oil in engine and checked water.

1300
Slipped, tried to put at third reef in unsuccessfully. Easy sail with 6 knot tide, sunshine and NW 3knt wind, SOG 9NM.


Yet more cake cannot remember if this is Celia's or Marys but delicious in either case.

1600
Picked up a mooring in Braye Harbour, easy run in.
Water taxi to Braye. Walked up long hill to centre, in rush hour (One car). Drinks in smokers pub then went to nicer place where Vasco attended a Rotary meeting.


Supper, Starters for main course, served by smiling Slovak waitress.

2130
Water Taxi back to boat accompanied by two pissed loud mouths who were slagging off, on the phone, a woman called Corine.
Roy and I lying in the fore cabin looking for Uranus through the hatch.
