Lynda by Fyfe
Stephen & Lynda off to St Jean de Luz today, sorry to see them go today it has been lovely spending the past few days with them. Thank you Stephen for all the help, particularly straightening the wheel on Audrey's bike (Morocco incident). Very impressive, jumping on the wheel then tuning spokes to bring it into line. Thank you both of you for taking such an interest in the children's interests.

Matthew looking for fish in Teasel
Rigged Teasel and went for a sail today but it was hopeless due to the thick weed in the lake. Managed to cut my way down wind to a patch of clear water and reach back and forward to the island but it was only about seventy metres by twenty metres so very limited. Dropped the sails (easy with a gaff rig) and rowed back to camp. Matthew went for a row and throughly enjoyed himself.
Edward and Roman spent much of the day setting up a shop in the back of the Disco. The shop had a large range (much to put away) and even gave receipts for purchases.

Slide popular
Went for a brief swim in the lovely pool and when I got back Roman and Edward were set up in buckets of warm water.

Roman then set up Fyfe's pup tent and after dinner, with Audrey, watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
