Ahoy,
today was almost the same as last night, nothing went to plan, in fact, everything if there had been a plan went in completely the opposite direction. The aperitifs soothed my shoulders and I even tried to have a game of pool, make that a few games. Finding myself relaxed and in fine company in a spectacular port, all I could think of were the words of a friend of mine, Richard in Amsterdam, he would say on occasion " how good would you have it be?" on my face was a grin that could not have been much bigger, whilst those very words tripped through my mind. Of course had I have known how the night would end...... That's a story for another time.
So as I set off today(after fixing the outboard, again!) to finish vicking the Ol' Girl and say my good bye's, having gritted my teeth and walked, all be it extremely slowly to the supermarket, I discovered it closed a national holiday, Ascension or some such thing, everywhere apart from the bars and restaurants, closed. As I buy my fruit, veg and bottled water at the last minute, another day in Camaret seemed to be certain as I do not want to leave without them. This means another trip, cap in hand to the Harbour Mistress attempting to be as charming and apologetic as possible having not left when I said I would. Whats the French for intentions? Of course the Harbour office is closed, a brief reprieve till tomorrow.
