MoBo weather.
Little or no wind.
Drifting with sails up.
Spot of lunch while I watch the world pass by.

And the screw top wine bottle is acceptable

Yes, no cork to ruin the wine. Some wine in the UK is now in plastic bottles, but then wine boxes have plastic bladders and I have seen in France 10 litre or bigger plastic wine barrels.And the screw top wine bottle is acceptable
It's just the thought of drinking out of a plastic tumbler. Glass is so much nicer.

So....it’s ok to pour wine from plastic to glass...but not glass to plastic
It’s no wonder I am never invited out to eat with civilized company.....I mean, once I did eat with Seastoke....but that doesn’t count

No glass tumblers when underway - however slowly.

Bit rich coming from the man who seems to drink Coke with everything.
Anyway, both the bottle and the cup were a New Year's 'gift' from the marina.
And you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Seeing that Bouba keeps posting pictures of his lunch I thought that I would show a picture of my hot chocolate on this mornings walk. Hopefully I have lowered the standard and the 'food' was a small twix that is just in the picture. Its in a blue wrapper as it is a salted cameral flavour one ...................
The weather was a bit grey this morning for those who are even vaguely interested !

A thermos and candy bar is indeed sad.....but not to even get them in focus shows either it was cold and wearing gloves or you’d already split hot chocolat on your hands

The hot chocolate is in focus.
I was balancing on a bench seat at the time sofeel I did well ....
Edit. I should add that there is a 'coffee' van nearby but six of us ordering is a problem and the coffee van isn't always there and after walking three miles ...

In the near future (well this year) we are planning to extend the range of our 6 mile Friday morning stroll to include a pub for a lunchtime meal / drink.
If this thread is still running and I haven't had a ban, I will endeavour to post a picture or two of a typical pub lunch. I hope that it will be more than a pint of beer and packet of crisps but you never know !

Went looking for accommodation around Carcassonne a few years ago, everything was busy and the nearest we could get was 37km to the north west in a small village. Hotel looked bad room was clean and tidy, shower was so small you had to back out of it if you dropped the soap...I have been pass Carcassonne many times…including by boat…but never went in. Definitely on my to do list
The hotelier hummed and hawwed a bit about the evening meal but eventually said he would put an extra table and chairs outside for us, along with all the other tables and chairs in the small village square.
Come dinner time the square was full of Porsches and Range Rovers, everyone was sitting down to dine at the hotel, the food was sublime, the house wine was like nectar, boy did we get it right there, it was about the best meal we have had in France, wish I could remember the nave of the village! there was a small airfield close by that we passed on the way there.
Never been to Carcassonne, would like to visit the place but we are not disappointed on where we stayed

No swimming today. I think it may be bigger than the dinghy we're in. Not an inflatable I might add.
