Ahoy,
as the festival here on the Ile de Groix gathers pace for the weekend, yet again
I have been very fortunate in the people I have met. Whilst hitch hiking the other day, as taxi's are expensive, I could never have guessed that it would be the Mayor of the island that would offer a well timed lift. We embarked on a short and interesting trip round his family's part of the island before I was returned to Port Tudy and we had a couple of beers. I can not be sure of why but that evening whilst deciding to have a quick beer in the Port, people seemed even more friendly than they had been, which would have seemed impossible at an earlier time and offered me many beers, which on the grounds of being a polite guest I felt I could not refuse. As I said I do not know why but I have my suspicions.
This quite excellent atmosphere is due to carry on till the 7th of June, I am disappointed my stay here is due to equipment failure, although it's probably the best time to be here in any case.
The comings and goings of a few English boats has been of great interest, alas one of them Felice has now left and Andy and Pam will be missed.
The clock is ticking as far as my 40th Birthday is concerned, I do not feel too negative about it at the moment, whether this will change on the day I have no idea, I hope I will feel as I do now, that I am a very fortunate person and despite not being able to see my family and friends I know they are with me anyway.
