A sociable potter

What a beautiful day! not much in the way of wind but absolutely gorgeous.  I persuaded Mrs Ciao Bella to come out for a potter around the Harbour.  My persuading started with me making the picnic and bringing a cup of tea up, whistling 'Dock of the bay'  :~)

Picnic time

On the boat and Roger was also getting his boat ready for the off.  We slipped the mooring and drifted towards the harbour entrance.  The small amount of wind died and we were drifting backwards, time to start the engine.  We motored up Blood Alley and dropped the anchor to have our picnic and catch up on some beauty sleep.

Get back to work

I saw Roger sailing out in the back of the harbour and decided to go round and meet him; but not before some more sleep and sunbathing.
The breeze picked up slightly and we were able to make slow progress.  We followed the stake around to South deep where we found Roger and Family in 'Big Easy'  We rafted up and had a refreshments ;~P and a chin wag. Rogers mob had been diving off the boat and swimming... braver than me.
Eventually it was time to head home,  we had a good sail back considering there was barely any wind. Maintaining 3 knots most of the way.
We'd had a smashing day out grommit :D
