Day 8 - Rain stops play

The rain has been coming down steadily all day with no sign of letting up, both Alex and I went for a wonder round the shops to pick up some supplies for the boat and for us.

A very nice bottle of Muscadet with some local ham and cheese, the wine cost 2.60 compared to a bottle of coke, which cost 2.80 Euros.

We managed to scrub the decks with help from the rain, plus we gave the boat a good clean, we have guests tomorrow, Jo, Chris and Paul are on route.

We have bought a 12V car hover to help with the cleaning, but as soon as we plugged it in and tried to use it, it died on use, blowing the fuse, which then meant we had to find the distribution board, which turns out to be in the Guest room under the bunk, so the hover will be going back and we will need to buy a rechargeable one. Otherwise it's good old manpower.
