Hi Everyone

I am alive but my new computer is not hence the lack of blogs. I am using someone eslses computer to do this and hopefully mine will be sorted once we get to Norway on the 22nd. There are no apple dealers here.

Just a brief outline of our travels to bring you up to date



A week ago we let Dubrovnik and headed to Montenegro but un.able to host sails as the sea was dead calm . spent one night anchored off a beach and the swimming was magic. Beautiful suroundings and water. A truly magical spot. First dinner on board which was great with a number of drinks.



Next day Sunday 1st July we headed away from Montenegro, destination Corfu. Sailed all day, all night and arrived in Corfu mid afternoon on Monday 2nd. Fantastic little village called Kassiopi where we moored at the quay for the night. In the evening went for a walk to the headland and followed a small track and ended up at a tiny beach which was so beautiful I had to go for a swim. Just lying there in the water I realized just how lucky I am. Dinner that night at a little traverna---a few drinks and my usual squid. The owners were very helpful and friendly with lots of advise as to places to go.

Tuesday the 3rd we left there for Corfu Sailing Club and are presently moored at their Marina called Mandraki which is in a beautiful setting under the old fort. Two days wandering around have more drinks and more food, relaxing in the sun, swimming and just waiting for Di and Viv to arrive on Thursday afternoon.

Thursday Di & Viv arrived so the eating , drinking etc has continued. Its now Saturday and we are preparing to sail to the bottom of Corfu.



So thats a brief update will try to do another when we have internet connection . Still very hot, very calm and idylic.

Sounds idyllic - so jealous - how I would love to be swimming there as it is so cold here although last night coming home noticed getting lighter at nights as has been in mornings. Glad you got there OK, you would be much fitter after all the cycling etc. in your time off. Are you sure you don't want to come back to help in the Sale! Anyway take care and continue the amazing journey.
