Lesley went with mask and gloves in a prebooked taxi. It was one of the island's biggest supermarkets but very busy and as usual, hard to find what was on our list.
She thought she had booked a return cab, but it turned out the cab firm had 'no taxi for 2 hours, nein!'' There was some waiting outside the supermarket in stinking heat with 130 euros worth of food, until a rival taxi firm came to the rescue.
In the meantime Nic was tidying away clothes, cushions, an unwanted liferaft- frame, making the bed, filling water bottles- you get the picture. Once the food was crammed into the boat fridge, our lovely boat felt like home again, ready to go.
We spent a happy two hours doing the chartwork and navigation for Monday's first leg to Kiel. The forecast is for easterly winds, force 4, and we are going west - fingers crossed that weather holds!
Tonight our first meal on the boat for a year- a very basic old dish of meat stew, plus no alcohol beer. (See pic) Tomorrow is an early start for our 45 mile, 9 hour trip to the start of the Kiel Canal. So goodnight from us and the boat.
