Wednesday 9 May/Thursday 10 May (still Falmouth)On Wednesday Nick went to town, while I awaited the plumber. He came about lunch time and successfully ripped out the foul octopus from the boat and came back later to fit a new length of pristine piping, which will NOT get blocked again!! I serviced the rest of the heads mechanisms and we ate (again) at the Marina Restaurant (good job it's so good) and sank a few pints of Doom Bar Ale, an excellent brew from the St Austell Brewery.
On Thursday I revisited the Maritime Museum, with more time to spare this time. Excellent exhibits, including the Tidal Zone, set under the water so you can see the marine life at different states of the tide. In the evening we had a very good meal at The Boathouse, a quirky gastro-pub with a great view across the river, and full of young people: they also have WiFi access (which is where I am updating the blog now, actually Saturday). We found Bernard had left a note and "jumped ship" during the day since there is clearly still no prospect of sailing for Cork this week! Hopefully he will be back if there?s a weather windw next week.
