69. Surf's up

Barritz 

Munted gaff jaw removed

New gaff jaw fitted

Woke to the sound of wind, not too much, nursary breeze and a boat that needs the gaff fixing as the eye for the mast jaw had pulled through. Tackled and completed the job as our departure times are always famously optimistic. Teasel now ship shape and Bristol fashion ready for the next day with breeze.

H&S France Style

Teasel ready for the next breeze

While working on the gaff, the groundsmen were polling the trees in the campground standing on a pallet and the cab of the ancient forklift. Interesting that Brussels has been blamed for so much in terms of laws and red tape in the UK.

We headed back to Biarritz with both Disco and Glamper, the Macdonalds stopping enroute for supplies. Plage du Port Vieux the iconic main beach beckoned and did not disappoint with few others to compete with apart from three octogenarian maidens swimming impressively out in the bay. Jacqueline, Audrey and Sheena where our swimmers.

Old bikes are de rigueur here

We returned to the Glamper for a late lunch then across the road to Plage de Milady, the famous surf beach.   There were no life guards on duty and I could see a rip working so the three girls played in the dumping surf without their boogie boards till it got dark when we transferred to the playground then home for a late combined dinner.
