The Bastille Day party ran on very late and very loud last night. If that is all the sleep I'm going to get at night I will never last the pace. However we wake to shocking news of the attack in Nice and count our blessings .
In a spirit of international cooperation we are sharing a stand with the French Old Gaffers and today it is my turn to do a stint at selling merchandise and distributing flyers. It's Ben Collins who has set this up and he manages to charm lots of us into taking a turn.

| Anyone for souvenir T shirts and mugs? |
While I mingle with the natives on land Howard goes sailing again, this time with a friend Jim who is here tied to a land stand and keen to get out on the water.

We get to have a cold beer later and for the second time we have managed to be in the right bar at the right time for a free Ricard.
 |
| It's getting hotter and hotter here, beer goes down fast chased by free Ricard. |
Barry has offered to cook us supper on Random so we tuck into delicious garlicky pork chops in a slightly quieter corner of the festival than our own.
 |
| Great supper on board Random |
(Hoping to add a couple more days worth shortly)
