Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I thought the thermometer in the butt was hilarious, but that's a couple of days old already. Surprised that @Matt didn't jump on that one

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I think he’s purposely holding back and saving up for Gosport in September. A few beers and I’m afraid of what’s going to happen

Edit: As to @Giles, I wonder if he’ll show up to the party wearing a beret.

[goosehd]

…denim beret.

[Matt]

You sound like Katie. About the beers, not the butt thermometer

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I figured it was too easy. And I don't think it'll take a few beers. I'd be surprised if it took one

[Giles]

Apparently whilst we were at lunch, SAKURA was boarded by 4 customs officials.

No locks forced, will see what happens......

[goosehd]

@Giles Any pillows missing?

[Giles]

I can only count to 18

[goosehd]

@Giles Technically 19…

[Giles]

Paula says 18.5….

[goosehd]

@Giles Laura laughed…

[Giles]

The green track is our trips so far...

[Giles]

And tomorrow’s plan. Hugging the shore as much as poss to avoid spring currents as much as poss

[Giles]

They came back down the pontoon but showed virtually zero interest.....

[Tago Mago]

@Giles still hungover from last night?

[Giles]

I should have asked

[Tago Mago]

@Madame-Buttonfly how are you feeling ahead of tonight’s game? Irrational confidence or just happy to there?

[Giles]

L'Aber Wrac'h

(Bladderwrack to us)

[Giles]

Great timing Freddie.....

[Giles]

We have made it to anse de pen-hir. We are anchored up. I'll cook a curry and P will watch the footie (internet allowing). To get here we had to get through the chenal du four, one of the nastiest bits of water in Europe. When we bought the boat back from Menorca, we had to abort one passage through the chenal, and I had a bit of a monkey on my back about doing it, just the two of us. I need not have worried, we (mainly P) spent a lot of time working out winds/current/wave heights/timings etc, and we got it perfect, it was like a mill pond....

And at anchor....
