Today I have one to-do item and that is to return the Kymco. That task soon turns out to be two intertwined tasks – fill up the fuel and then return it. I go out on the route where I thought I have seen a gas station but I discover that I am wrong. The meter is only in the red area, has not yet passed the low mark and consumes very little fuel so I feel safe to go and look at the salt fields and visit the beach north of the town. Very nice trip but no fuel so I go back to the boat and fill up from the jerry can to the dinghy.

The guy at the rental company is a nice guy and he asks me how it had been. He welcomes me back next year and to have a nice stay the last days. As I stroll out of the shop, the water is low and the grand beach is at its best. I sit down on a bench and just enjoy the sea for a while and let the thoughts fly. Moments like this is priceless.

Back at the boat, I start preparing for the lifting of the boat on Monday. I have prepared a long checklist so it is just to check off the items. No stress needed – I plan to do most things on Sunday but it feels satisfying to move forward. The evening is spend walking around in the town that I now start to know pretty well. I sit down at a restaurant at the beach and enjoy the light out over the sea.
