A convivial evening

When we got back to Robinetta we saw a different boat on the quay opposite. A large gaffer cutter flying a Norwegan flag had arrived, and we went across to say Hi. Dvina is an interesting boat, built in Russia a few years ago in wood, and now owned by a wooden boat restorer. They are on a years cruise to the Cap Verde Islands.

Dvina's crew told us that they had found a hotel with live music, and did we want to come along too? Off course we said yes, and joined them for a convivial evening with a local band. There was not supposed to be any dancing (the hotel parlour was not really big enough) but I said Julian and I could show them how to dance “Strip the Willow” and before I knew it I had a longways set of six couples to show. A huge squeeze, but great fun!
