Today dawned hot and sunny so Jim put took down the winter canopy and put up the Binmini. This was its first outing since we bought it 2 years ago. Today we did some chores and pottered on the boat, during lunch one of the American's we saw on the hotel boat Bizet in the lock recognised us on our morning and wandered down to the pontoon and had a chat, still didn't get the beer. Late in the afternoon we went for a bike ride over the bridge to Vernon, not a particularly pretty town despite being so close to Giverny but had a quick look around the local Foire. Just when we were about to have dinner a lifeboat arrived and considered mooring against us, luckily they decided better of it and moored against the big motorboat nearby. After dinner Hugo and Renee from Fantastico came over to share some wine and we had a very pleasant evening sitting out on deck, with the exception of the moment when the wine went flying all over the cockpit, due I might say to the huge wash from a passing barge that was going up the river really too fast and not because anybody was three sheets to the wind.
