Gone shopping....

Thought that I was going sailing and to go sailing one has to go shopping....for many things...in many places and sometimes several times in the same places...live this one to your imagination.
We have shopped for bolts,screws,impelas,fan belts,things I haven't ever heard of in places I have not imagined existed.I have seen more spare parts than I think there are entries in the Oxford dictionary.To be safe "out there" one needs 2 of everything.I hope that we will come back with a few left overs or else I will never get to drink any champagne...
We have shopped for meat,never have I shopped like that before...it was like ordering for a couple of restaurants.It all needs to be packed without oxygen so even if the fridges and freezers break down we have BBQ guaranteed.You know ordering,borrowing cars to pick it up ,paying for it is only part of the parcel.Than you need to fit it in marina trolley(much like a shopping trolley only cuter and than take it to your boat...fit it in freezers...which are huge on Cognac.Yes we have ice cream too!
Than we shopped for the ordinary,you know supermarket.Nothing is ordinary here,people have very different mentalities-very touchy and in a hurry to get everything ready for their easter holidays.The sizes of their enormous trolleys are way smaller than most body sizes.It has taken us 5 hours in the supermarket and further 5 or 6 putting it all away in absolutely scorching heat...needles to say one of us has this cute looking very funny heat rash.

After all this we decided to celebrate with a glass of chilled wine in hurricane wind.We were tired,really tired and WE WERE WINNING NOW!
