The port refuse area in Golfe Juan is a GREAT place (seriously), not only because you meet loads of yachties taking out their garbage too but because you FIND stuff. And I'm not just talking about smelly banana peels and old newspapers... I'm talking Magimix Nespresso M200s. Yeah. For real. Just like this. Sitting on top of the rubbish pile, caaaaan you believe it.
And... it totally WORKS. It just needed some anti-calc run through it. The lazy, wasteful creatures couldn't be bothered to clean the thing so they just threw it out. This is what these people are like in this industry, there's just SO much money being thrown around that something like this is just peanuts to them so the minute it stops working, for even a second, they throw it out. Which is completely RIDICULOUS but completely awesome for old bargain betty over here. Gotta LOVE a free coffee machine. If you have any interest in buying a magimix nespresso machine, email me: carymurdoch@yahoo.com. While the magimix is cool, especially cos it was FREE, if I was buying one I think I'd buy this starter kit that comes with a cute little machine, a whole lot of nespresso capsules, a carousel to store the capsules and some colourful espresso cups and saucers. Go look at my shop, you can buy it there.
Anyways, my little run to the refuse area was RATHER succesful. I went off the boat with a black bin bag filled with rubbish and walked back on with an almost new magimix coffee maker, the captain was WELL proud of me but asked kindly that I make sure nobody sees which boat I walked off of, you can't have your crew digging through the bins, it's just not the image you're going for.
