Saturday 2nd August 2008

Cooler overnight, cloudy day with spells of sunshine. Had a lazy morning. Mike watched the F1 qualis from Hungary. A hire boat arrived and its French speaking crew insisted on mooring between our pontoon and the hulk. Mike told them it wouldn’t fit, they were too wide! They didn’t. They moored on to the hulk with their bows just off the pontoon. They said they were only staying overnight and the rest of the mooring was full. (What they really meant was they wanted to see the show later!) The spectacle “Au Fil de l’Eau” started around 10.30 p.m. Mike called me outside to look, but I missed the opening sequence of ultraviolet light and lasers. The couple on the hire boat were sitting out watching and those on the small boat moored the other side of the hulk, as were all the people on the French boats in the corner. Probably all the visiting boat crews were either watching from their boats or had paid 18€ each for tickets to watch from the stalls.
