A radiant day again, allowing us to bask in the sun and swim to our content. And we’d better enjoy it, because in the afternoon a bad weather front is coming in. We actually had to do some work, but we’d rather do it tonight and enjoy the sun now, than regret that we’ve spent the whole day working while it’s raining tomorrow.
We did something useful today, though. It was high time for a laundry again. When we went to the harbour office to get tokens for the washing machine and the dryer the harbour master flat out refused to sell us a token for the dryer. She pointed upwards and said “There’s your drying machine. No, you’re not getting a token with al this sunshine, are you silly or something?” Since she really didn’t want to sell us a token for the dryer we had to hang all the washed towels and bedsheets on the lifelines and makeshift drying lines. Our boat looks as if it has hit a dry cleaner. We look like proper gypsies now.
