The 60th Birthday Cruise

22 September 2015
Day 6 Wednesday26th August
Same Place !!
I was aware of the rain at 6.30 am and it just did not stop until 4.30pm - not even for a few minutes, At around 2pm it came down so hard I couldn't see the boats on the opposite pontoon. We skipped breakfast and had lunch at 1.00pm - freshly baked baguettes and cheeses bought yesterday all washed down with an excellent red wine. Nothing else to do but chill and wait for the rain to stop. Andy had a snooze, I got my colouring book and pencils out. Finally, when the rain stopped we went for showers and discovered a bowling alley behind the marina office - it's been there for years apparently! How have we managed to miss it each time we come here??? A check on the big weather screen showed Friday as being a great day to move round to St Vaast,
Song of the day: Singing in the rain by Gene Kelly
Thought of the day: Open your eyes - you never know what is right in front of you!
Incident of the day: Andy left his Tag Heaur in the shower block! I have never seen him move so fast. He ran. In flip flops!!!
