Nouveau amis français . . .
Today we made some new French friends.  We got chatting with Christian and his son Adrian (and Christian’s wife – I didn’t catch her name) as we were setting up.  Seeing they were experienced they ended up coming for a short paddle.  John and Mick watched from a pair.  Our visitors were in the two and three seats and we took a quick trip up to the Swan Street Bridge and back.  Later we took the Roche out again with the regulars in all the seats and had a lovely time.  Thanks everyone.
