Bad luck day
After a few days we all fancied Chinese. We found a buffet style one, which im really not that keen on but it was cheap so we thought we’d give it a go. Well everything on our plate was cold, gross!! We complain to the staff and are left waiting for about 10 mins. Not that we mind cos at least we get freshly cooked food. Well at least that’s what we thought. The waitor came back with my plate of mushed up food which he’s just microwaved . We could not believe it, we said we did not want to eat that not to worry and asked for the bill which came to 16euros for three cokes.
Later on, we return to find that our tender and engine has been stolen. Great. It was actually the first time that Sym had locked it up with the padlock in ages. We go and report it to the police who claim that on an average per year 1 boat is stolen. Can you believe our chances. We have to Kayak back to our boat and go to be gutted.
The next day after spending hours sorting out insurance we are walking out of the police station when, I look over to the lake behind the police station and OMG its there. Our boat is moored up to a bloody buoy with all the local fishing boats. We could not believe the cheek of it, about 100 yards from the police station, and they had not even bothered rubbing our name off the side.Well we run down the jetty , wade through the muddy water and steal it back. The b******s had used all the fuel so we row it back a couple of miles back to Quartermoon.
We are so lucky to have found her and am so glad we did not have to fuss around getting quotes for the insurance, it would have been a major pain in the backside.
