Today we are surrounded by the Clipper round the World Race - 10 Yachts which set off from the Humber on the 13th September and the first came in at Lunchtime yesterday. All 10 are now in and they are all happily cleaning their boats. See little 'Piano' far left of image. The sun made a poor effort to come out but I despair.
A nice French chap had a look at the battery problem and is setting up the Marina to let us stay and get it done tomorrow.
I must say that all contacts with French people have been positive They are all (so far) VERY helpful -
Meanwhile Malcolm is looking into the VHF (yes another minor hiccup) but I expect that will be easily fixed - most things seem to get done by magic they seem to have there own agenda!
Now for the daily trek to the shops.
