A rest day, of sorts

Monday 16 April

After a misty start, the promised forecast of warm sunshine finally broke through this morning, and Skipper got busy washing my decks and filling my water tanks. Mate enjoyed a luxury shower (ie she washed her hair), before removing the evidence by giving the heads (bathroom) a thorough clean.

After a late lunch, the crew prepared for a shopping trip into town, but the heavens opened for a real April shower, so they postponed the foray in favour of a long chat with Second Mate’s brother. Inevitably, by the time they had strolled along the quay and found the supermarket, it was closing time, so they enjoyed the sunset as they made their way home emptyhanded. Oh well, my galley stores are always full for such emergencies.
