Sunshine

Wednesday 15th & Thursday 16th June 2016



                                                             Penny - a bit bored ?

Wednesday - off to Treguir market - a half hour drive away - lots of stalls - we bought cherry tomatoes from our favourite stall and whelks ( cooked ).


                                                           Red flowers and red shutters.

                                                        coffee - watching the market.


On our way back we took Penny to her favourite beach on Ille Grande - lovely.
Then back on board - hot sunshine - I fitted the new depth instrument in the cockpit - works a treat.
The sun shone until after 9 pm !!

Thursday - a sunny day - all day !!
Off to Ille Grande beach with coffee and a packed lunch - I forgot my hat - burned my head !!!
It was hard to keep Penny in the shade - we must take a big towel to stretch between our chairs next time.
We did take her water bucket thank goodness !
Back in the marina - Jackie headed for the beach - while I prepared Blazer for a trip out to sea - just a test trip - out and back to check things out.
The marina gate was open until 21.30 so bags of time.

Off we went !!
First time out since October last year - WONDERFUL !!!
Penny was a bit nervous at first but soon settled with Jackie fussing her continuously!
Penny had her new life jacket on and a safety line to make sure she didn't try to run off !!
Jackie tried fishing but no joy - perhaps the mackerel aren't here yet ?
All systems worked well but the temperature gauge was not reading - I'll sort that.

Back in the marina after an hour in hot sunshine - lovely.

A great day.

Mike- Jackie + Penny
