2nd July

This morning we walked up to the castle guarding the entrance to the bay. It looks as though it has grown out of the rock. There was a narrow winding staircase to access the upper parts. Disabled access did not to be considered by architects of old. Sue went for a swim round the boat and got stung for her troubles. I therefore inspected the underwater parts of the boat by hanging off the side of the dinghy with just my head under water. Once again the outboard wasn't working. We took it apart and peered at the spark plug hoping for inspiration. When we put it back together it still didn't work. In the evening we went for a guided walk up to the top of the island. The views were extraordinary looking out towards Africa (too far away to see) and down over the natural harbour in which we were moored.
