Monday 14 August

We have invited Wendy to supper tonight, so I go to the store for vital supplies. Supper is then based on what the store has to offer - tinned fruit and tinned cream and tinned vegetables and a packet of lemon meringue filling and fresh onions. Oh, and beer and Pepsi.

So, supper - with what I have left on the boat - is: Mexican (chilli powder) tortillas and Screech cocktails. With tinned fruit and lemon pudding and cream. We ate in the cockpit, took various grouped pictures, J read his poem about our different languages and we laughed and talked rather a lot. I got some instruction on plumbing, kayaker style, with an interesting slant on makeshift loo paper (small smooth boulders). Funny evening!
