4th July

Although secure on a buoy it was an uncomfortable night. At 4:30 there was no wind and the boat kept gently bumping against the buoy sending gentle rasping rouses echoing through the hull. By 6 am the wind had got up blowing straight down into the harbour and we were pitching unpleasantly. The morning was overcast and we made a decision to stay another night. By the afternoon it had all calmed down. We went ashore in time to watch the Germany France match. There are lots of Germans here and they were pleased with the result. I tried to persuade the others to have a curry wurst to celebrate. They all decided they would prefer going back to the boat to eat.
