Annie went a swim at Pershore swimming pool first thing, returning for breakfast. We set off around 10.30am, again pairing up with Marlin. They stopped at Hampton Ferry to meet a friend for lunch. We continued into Evesham to moor on a pontoon. Walked into town for a look around but its not as great as its cracked up to be! Marlin arrived and moored about 1/4mile ahead of us and were chatting to their friend Roy. On our return I walked up to Marlin to invite Martin and Ros for drinky poos on our boat. Could hardly get a word in edge-ways as Roy was in full flow talking with Martin and Ros looking glazed. We agreed they would join us at 7.30pm.
At 7pm I got a call from Ros.... they might be a bit late as Roy had been taken ill. They knew he was ill because he suddenly stopped talking - they suspected his diabetes was causing problems. We kept watch on them by binoculars - they seemed fully in control of the situation so we didnt go over - even when the ambulance arrived. About 8.30 they rang to say he was now much better and was talking 10 to the dozen to the paramedics. They would walk him home (when he stopped talking) and was the offer of a drink still on - they desperately needed one!
Had a lovely, but tad late evening with the crew of Nb Marlin.
