Week 8 Hartlepool

Arriving at a marina follows a well trodden path. "Tie this up. Don't let it bump that. Do something with the other". Rusty then announces he's off to see the harbourmaster about paying or some such excuse. "I'll get on with tea then shall I?" I say. "Oh yes if you insist" he replies. He then spends exactly the amount of time it takes to make tea chatting to the latest new friend he's made who's taking upwards of ten years to go round britain but hasn't been out of the current marina for two years.

"That smells good he says on return" and then needs to check weather/charts/marina details when it comes to washing up.

But we love him dearly. Peter
