Kevin came around to take us to the little quay again – I declined so he and Yvonne set off.

They had a lovely walk around (I’m told) during which Kevin proposed to Yvonne a change of scenery (errr… ship). Yvonne gracefully declined and no harm was done! We had a great dinner with Kevin that evening and Kevin was philosophical: “… if you don’t ask…” and “… where I come from ‘No’ usually means at least a wrestle… ” (!).

We had a great time, sharing life stories and knocking back enough coldies to sink a small ship! By bed time we were ferried back in instalments, the nor’ easter pumping up to 15 knots and whipping up a light chop, enough to unsettle a slightly inebriated small-boat skipper!
