Tonight our friend Liz is coming for a few days, which is exciting. We've hardly spoken to any native English speakers (except each other) since leaving Port Man, over a month ago!
It is pouring with rain, and looks set to do so all day, enlivened by occasional thunderstorms. We have come into the harbour; at least we can collect Liz from the ferry without any problems later.
Rates here double in the high season: a 10-12m yacht would pay 80 euros a day here in July or August. On the other hand, the same boat would pay 110 euros a month between 1 November and the end of March, which is very reasonable indeed. These prices do not include electricity or water, which are metered on the quay, nor do they cover showers, which are privately run in some separate establishment.
