A pre-departure (from the marina in 5 days) tradition is to rent a car for a couple of days and venture out hunting down and gathering goods and provisions. It’s a military operation with a list of shops to visit in the most time efficient order and a sub order list of what we need from that establishment.
David’s in the driver’s seat and I’m co-driver with the clipboard. At the end of the mission we had a new bike tyre and selection of inner tubes for future punctures from Decathlon, 6m of sunbrella to make a new rear sunshade, a new cockpit dining chair after the other collapsed, 60 cans of Punk IPA brewed in Scotland, a few (?) select bottles of French wine, enough food to fill the freezer, fridge, store cupboards for a siege and 3 months supply of kibbles and cat litter.
Job’s a good ‘en.
