Pontoon.

Day 14 of our Solace trip.   Not a card game but the thing we tie up to in the marina.  As it was our final day for this trip it was up early and get on with the jobs.

We needed to be hanging about with the boat just off the service point for 8:45  SO it was a flurry of packing, giving everything a rough clean (we were having valeted but you always feel it shouldn't be too dirty when they start - I have never worked out why).  Then when everything was piled on the well deck it was cast off and lurk in the centre of the marina.  This was a ploy to be first in the queue.

While the filling up and emptying was going on the Mate and I got everything packed into the Land Rover and Ash (the ships dog) settled in.  The all that was to be done was return Solace to the pontoon and set off home, but not before a visit to the rather fine farm shop at the entrance to the marina.
