Wednesday 18 April
Eastbourne marina is very nicely situated. There are a
series of interlocking harbours inside lock gates, each surrounded by rather
attractive flats and town houses, with walk ways beside the water, like a mini
version of Docklands.

We spent the morning doing maintenance, then after lunch
walked along the seafront into Eastbourne proper. We had to, at least walk
along the pier. People were out in droves, enjoying the sunshine.
The highlight of the day was on our return, Steve spotted
a fish shop, which we have never knowingly passed on these travels. The shop
was small, just a shed really, but with a reasonable selection. I asked which
were the locally caught ones and decide to buy the Dab. The fishmonger weighed
out two each for us; they have a small amount of flesh. “That will be 73
pence”, he said. I think we just froze and were speechless. “ Well, I can make
it 83 pence but its actually 73p”. We couldn’t believe our ears. It was
absolutely delicious and must be the cheapest meal we’ve had of such quality
for years.
A lovely rest day in glorious sunshine.
