The windy weather has returned and force 6 to 8 has been promised for today. Jomima stayed put today but we planned to explore the village. A couple of days ago we were visited by four people, from two other boats in Paimpol. They arrived by bicycle, electric ones. It did not take long for Ann to express sufficient interest in their machines for her to be offered a ride. We were told that you had to pedal for about three seconds and then the electric power would come in to assist you. Ann set off and after three seconds, as I fully expected, she let out a squeal as her speed increased without her having to put in any more effort. Quite where we would keep one of those I do not know so we will have to stick to our small folders for now.It would have been nice to have been able to use two of their bikes to enable us to get up the hill to the village. Sadly, we had to walk but knew that it would be downhill coming back with fresh food supplies. The village turned out to be small but pleasant and well equipped with a super market, excellent bread shop and a coffee shop where we were able to get an English newspaper and sit outside reading while drinking excellent French coffee. It’s a hard life being a nomadic boater.
