Tall ships #AlexandiaVA. Three tall ships visited mid June. We were able to board all tree plus our resident ship the Providence thanks to my wife securing tickets a few months in advance.

Plan to move much less than usual. Stop early on moorings that will be in shade for the rest of the day.

But I know that's easier said than done!

As of this evening, the boat is moored beside an ASDA and a McDonald's, both of which have air-conditioning. Tomorrow, while it is 33°C or more, a certain boater will be sitting in McDonald's for a lo-o-o-ong time.

I hope my 12-volt fridge can handle the strain.

Two years ago during the heatwave, it was the seating area of a Morrison's, but many grocery chains have shut down their cafeterias and cafés.
