Success!!!! Dinner

Beach from the sea

Low Tide

Boat aground on high patch 

The beach

Springs with a high coefficient saw TiGra with absolutely nothing under her keel at 13.11hrs today. Skipper thinks we may go down another 0.25 metres next tide but is hoping the bottom is mud!! We are in a river so hopefully...
A confession. I bought a travelling iron when we bought our first boat in 2003. It has never been used but sat on the boat until now. However after washing a linen blouse I took it out of its box and ... it works beautifully but I think it can go away again for another 8 years as I love ironing so much.
Orages expected tonight. ( Thunder and lightening) but hopefully will leave for L'Herbaudiere tomorrow. Another confession. I have become a chantier or French as I have washed the boat. Admittedly it was only four buckets of water and I used the deck shower to fill them but no more grit for now.Hurrah.
