Just Chillin

Sunday was warm and sunny. Yes, honestly.

We nipped around the corner to Castlebeach, dropped anchor and had some coffee and warm pitta breads stuffed with melted cheese. Mmm.

Louise then set about cleaning the deck, and a spot of painting. She'd clearly spent too long in the one position.....


I then took the little fella ashore and along the coast path to try and wake him up a bit. Just along the path from where Ishtar was anchored we found a field of golden wheat, swaying in the summer sun.



Tigger seemed barely able to contain his excitement


So I called him out of the field as quickly as I could. A short sail around the buoys followed before we returned to the moorings. we were just in time to catch our friend Adam, who'd just finished rebuliding the engine on his boat. He was off back up to Neyland.



A bite to eat, and then a nice relaxing end to the day with a pint in the Griffin, with Dave, from 'Caswyn' and a couple of other guys from Cardiff, Steve and Tony, who'd arrived aboard 'Jean Jeannie' earlier that afternoon.



They were even more chilled than we, to the point of misjudging when to move the boat, as the tide ebbed away. No harm was done, however - they just had to find a way to pass a couple more hours until the tide returned. The Griffin seemed a good bet.
