Went out walking to find a supermarket at the commercial end of Honfleur. We started out about half eleven thinking that we would get to the supermarket half an hour before it closed. Unfortunately, although we found LeClerc, it wasn't open as we expected from our experience in Parnac. So we starting walking back. On the way we passed Ian and Jenny from Solent Clipper who had just had their mast taken down. Also alongside them were Margaret and Stanley on Maverick, who we were to meet later at dinner.
Having refreshed ourselves with Jenny and Ian and heard their tales of de-masting we went back to Katlen for lunch. Spent the afternoon pottering and then Jenny, Ian, Margaret and Stanley arrived for dinner.
Margaret and Stanley are from Scotland, they were returning home having done the same trip upstream as we about to embark on downstream. They had spent the last 11 summers sailing around the Med, down as far as Turkey and Greece. Now they were on they way back home to Scotland having just sold their boat to a Viennese man and his brother who intend to sail to South Africa.
