On Friday morning we decided that a full English breakfast at the Rendezvous Grill was the perfect way to start our day; we were surprised at having held out for so long actually!

The rest of Elaine’s day was spent responding to interest on our miscellaneous for sale items and collating packages for collection; it turned out to be a very time-consuming exercise and a bit frustrating having to deal with people who weren’t serious buyers, but rather looking for something for nothing and wasting her time.

While Elaine was busy with that, Roy took another walk to Morrison’s to purchase the ingredients for our dinner onboard, since we had eaten our supplies, in order to clear out the freezer, before leaving Paw Paw unattended, then enjoyed a beer at the Waterfront Restaurant and Bar while chatting to Keenan. 

To clear our heads and for Elaine to stretch her legs, we enjoyed a walk to see the sunset and to watch the fog rolling in, wrapping up our day with a few more requests for information on our miscellaneous items for sale. 

After a terrible night’s sleep and waking up to a very blustery day, after rain overnight, all of which made for a very sluggish morning yesterday, we eventually got our act together and spent the day building our website to sell Paw Paw. Fortunately Roy had completed the design over the winter, while we were in Türkiye, so all it needed was the content added. While Elaine continued with those efforts, Roy took his daily walk to Morrison’s.

When he returned, Elaine had completed the website and was in desperate need of a drink, which we enjoyed on the patio of the Rendezvous Grill.

Today was rather bittersweet, since Paw Paw was officially put up for sale. To take our minds off this particular happening, we enjoyed a Sunday Roast at Monique’s Bistro and Café, another waterfront establishment. Although neither of us could finish the enormous serving of food, Elaine left room to enjoy a delicious sticky toffee pudding with custard. Yummy!

Back onboard, she answered a few more queries regarding our miscellaneous items for sale and continued her packing efforts, while Roy switched out the generator lift pump, which decided to misbehave yesterday and placed orders for the final items we need to bring back with us from Ireland, as well as checked all our electronics charts, specifically to verify that they were all in working order for the buyer we had secured. However, in doing so, he discovered that the one we need for our return to the Caribbean, wasn’t functioning, resulting in us having to purchase yet another chart. Here we are with charts up the ying-yang, covering the world, but the one we need develops a fault! So frustrating, especially at this late stage of our sailing chapter. 

By then it was time to relax and enjoy our Zoom Family Get-Together, which, as usual, went on later than expected, but it was lovely to catch up with everyone. 

Afterwards a few last minute additions were made to the website, before calling it a day. For those interested, visit https://leopard46.appsforboats.com. If you view this from a Smartphone, scroll down to see the links.
