Jus'Do It 3 - preparing to leave -14th July



Monday 14th July

The crew are split as to whether to leave Tuesday or Wednesday. The decision is reached to get all the jobs done today – weather forecast, shopping, customs, boat and sail repairs etc so we are ready to leave when we want to. While everyone is out and Phil is aboard carrying out some repairs a very stroppy little Ozzy arrives telling us we have to move from the pontoon. Phil tells him to come back when the owner is aboard. Later, while Annie’s aboard he returns – he’s an extremely odd little character but Annie and he manage to come to an arrangement  - we’ll pay a docking fee once he works it out (which she doubts he’ll be able to do!) – no problem . In the evening we all go to Chill restaurant – a full table of Tramontana; Phil and Fay, Tallulah Ruby; Andy and Paul, Kasuje; Steve, Norfy, Dawn and Robert, Strega ; Andreas and Jus Do It – Ian, Annie, Alex, Stewy, Phil and Kevin. There’s lots of toasting going on and good crack about all the laughs during the Arc. We’ve made some great friends and there’s lots of plans afoot for reunions next year ie. Munich beer festival, Lanzarote race week and a weekend in the Red Lion, Northamptonshire! There’s a vote (mutiny) amongst the crew – really only Ian and Kevin keen to leave tomorrow – the decision is made to wait until Wednesday. After dinner we head to our local where Stewy gets involved in a slight altercation with a man who tells him his geography is poor – Stewy twists the mans head to stress his point. It could now go one way or the other but as Stewy has hung up his boxing gloves and is all peace and love, after a few tense moments , he buys the man a drink.
