The plan today was to go to the nearby markets. However as we were having breakfast we heard one of the local boats saying they were dressing their boat so we thought we would offer them our bunting for the day – it was the start of the sailing season and they were having a sail by the end of the jetty.
They encouraged us to bring Newt out but we are in a tight berth so they invited us on their boat "Slippery when Wet." The 'sail past' was scheduled for 10.30 so we headed out into harbour about 10.15 and motored round in the harbour with 4 other boats. By 11am Pete decided we needed some beers so we went along side the wharf and Jonny, Kathy and I held the boat off whilst Pete dashed to the bottle shop.
Stocked up with alcohol we headed bac k into the harbour where the other boats had started a small race so we decided to motor along with them.
By midday Pete and Kathys grand daughter, Chloe was starting to feel seasick so we headed back into the marina and spent the rest of the afternoon drinking 3 bottles of champagne and too many beers.
By the time Chloes parents came to pick her up at 4pm and we headed back to Newt we had a very quiet and early night!
