Another night's sleep and then it's back to the mooring ball. The day slid slowly by like a meandering stream. Had a shower and cloths in the washer by 10:00. When sorting out my recycles Mateus approached me and explained the wharf was pretty busy and wondered if a small power boat from a regatta of schooners in port could raft against Makina for the day.
Rafting is a term used when one docks against a boat who itself is then tied to the dock.
You will notice a schooner sailing behind Makina in the photo above. That is a big part of their regatta. They run races and were starting one right in the harbour off of Zwickers Wharf...
Pierre was in touch, over whatsapp, to let me know he would be arriving on Friday. Sounds like good timing. He is bringing his little outboard motor, so going back and forth to the mooring should be trivial.
Unfortunately my daughter could not get LOTRO running problem free. There were some excellent suggestions in the forum yet none seemed to work. Oddly we have pretty much matching laptops so it just wasn't meant to be it seems.
As Pierre had suggested a trip to Bridgewater, perhaps a good invertor solution can be found there... particularly with Pierre to ask suggestions. So, unless some crazy news should happen this evening we shall say, "Makina out" for now.
