Thursday 23 Aug - ICC exams, trip to Buzet Wine Co-Operative

Still hot. Iain took Jerry and David (the new Vertrouwen partner, and John's cousin) down to the Tarn to do their practical ICC exam in the morning.

After they headed up the Tarn, David (David's son) and his buddy James (both USAF pilots) came with me to Buzet to go to the Buzet Wine Co-operative. Dropped into the port and caught David and Evelyn just as they were getting ready to head east, and had a quick chat then off to the co-op before they closed for lunch. Loaded the boot of the car then headed back to Moissac.

Spent a pleasant afternoon on Vertrouwen moored on the Tarn while Jerry and David did their written exams, and David, James and I sampled some of the morning's purchases. Continued with chatting after they came back (successfully) until about 6pm. They then went up the Tarn to moor for the night, while I returned to Kanumbra.
