We have been a couple of weeks here in San Pedro del Pinatar preparing Beowulf and ourselves to set sail again. Beowulf was well looked after during the winter by the Motonautico Russo family. At first we stayed with Isabel and Manolo in Murcia, without whom none of this would have been possible. Last week we moved onto the boat. Today we completed the essential tasks. The plan is not to be rushed by deadlines, to cruise the Balearics, and then maybe Sardinia or Sicily. Early start tomorrow, for Santa Pola or thereaboutrs. Tom and Faith
