The problem with these wild anchorages is, the Co-op is NOT at the side of the boat when you wake up!
So we motor-sailed on to Mandal, on its winding river, and with its fine sandy beach where Christine and Jill had disported themselves so bravely in September 2007. click here to review that section of our previous trip. I wonder if we will be able to buy a Baerplukker this year!
I'm not sure if it's me, but, somehow, daily showers seem to be becoming a necessary part of the life for 4/5ths of the crew. It's funny - they don't smell any different to me when they come back from these highly expensive expeditions, but I'm kind of feeling "unclean" by comparison, even though I showered before leaving England, and fully expect to take another one this summer.
It's a good job we had to leave Mandal pretty smartly, otherwise I think Trevor would have bought the wooden sailing ship moored up along the quay from us!
