Thursday 26 June 2014 - Port de Taverna

I have not posted because really nothing has happened.  The other boat has been in the hoist for the last two days.  Yesterday we went to the beach in the morning, but it clouded over.  We keep looking to see if the hoist is free, but it hasn’t been.

The weather has also failed to co-operate.  We were awakened by torrential rain at about 6:00 this morning.  We had to rush around closing hatches, but still a lot of water came in.  It didn’t stop until after 8.  By then everything was sodden.  We looked at our dinghy and it had a foot of water in it!  It is a surprise that it did not sink.  Also, the water in the marina has gone funny.  It has turned brown!  When we walk over to the toilets we understand why.  There are torrents of water pouring in from the woods just behind. 


The other boat is still in the hoist, so we spend the day doing domestic chores.  I even do a load of laundry.  At 4:00pm we finally see them launch the other boat.  We rush over to the boatyard and find the mechanic.  We will be lifted out tomorrow, hopefully at 11:00am.  So we shall see what happens.
