A very pleasant Saturday

It’s a much better day today weatherwise. We took a walk downtown first thing to get perishables, then came back to the boat for coffee.

The second half of the morning was taken up with pulling Sanity Again out of the yard to get a pump out; all went reasonably smoothly, and so much better than it would have been in the wind and rain yesterday. We also paid for a bag of solid fuel (Supertherm, just for a change), a cylinder of gas and a couple of bags of kindling. All this hanging about in the yard means that we’ve not had a chance to scavenge wood from the cut.

Peter and Jan arrived at quarter past twelve, and we went over to the Miners Arms for lunch, returning to the boat for coffee and biscuits afterwards.

A busy morning and a quiet afternoon, then,with a lot of pleasure both ways.
