Another day without sailing but this time on land. Svendborg gave us great charity shopping and a wealth of maritime history.
In the afternoon we hit the ships museum where Lesley posed innocently for a photo with a great green buoy sticking out of her head.
It was a wonderful local museum chock full of classic wooden sailing boats from the 1930s to 70s. There were original 'Folk boats' and such humble vessels as a Wayfarer and even a tiny Mirror dinghy.
Note the bag held in L's hands. Earlier we had been to an astounding antiques and collectables shop based in a half timbered old railway building (see pic) with a huge array of lovely things to wear and decorate the home. We bought quirky presents for family birthdays and a couple of fun things for ourselves. Prices were not astronomical!
Earlier still L had bought a jacket and jumper at the Red Cross shop - total £12.
When we returned to Sirena IV loaded with bags we tackled the question of where to go in the next three days and marked up charts for tomorrow. Then we made a ludicrously long list of what we'll have to do before and after the boat is lifted out in Germany next week.
Lesley tweeted about her Radio 4 programme going out tonight, Nic did another food shop and we had tuna salad for supper. A long and productive day.
