14th May

I had a restless night thinking the wind would get up and concerned the anchor would drag. My fears were unfounded and despite regularly getting up to check, the wind died away and the boat remained peacefully at anchor. Just before noon the wind suddenly increased. We had a challenging time berthing in the fuel bay before making our way to the pontoon in the marina. All afternoon the charter boats came into the berths opposite us. They must have been summoned back to base. Apart from when they threatened to prang us it provided some amusement watching the attempts to come in and park with a strong cross wind complicating the whole business. I spent the afternoon investigating the gas alarm and cleaning out toilet hoses. Later Gavin and Lica came aboard for beers. They have been heading round the world from New Zealand and are heading to Scandinavia and then London in time for the rugby World Cup.ag
