10.30 Engines started – extra deck hand with Dad on board.
All hands took a stint at the helm, and we were anchored off
the island by 12.10
We took two tender runs in, J & Roxy dropped off by A,
and then Dad rowing A in – our outboard is currently on strike, so the boys
were working up their appetites for delicious pizza and Moules-Frites.
Roxy joined in with the swimming & paddle boarding – now
a master water-hound! We took some excellent pictures in the clear water,
although by the time we returned with a camera the octopus who had been hugging
our anchor had skedaddled, and there were a few jellyfish who left a few scars.
Dad flaked the anchor chain (a simultaneously unlucky draw
of task & demonstration of gentlemanly conduct), leaving J manning the
remote and A at the helm, when we headed for home at 15.45.
We were moored, rinsed and stowed by 18.00, when Dad set off
on a provisions run so we could all raise a glass to an awesome day out.
