Hi All,

Just getting our Celador email setup over the Iridium satphone.

Myself and Diane have been in Marmaris Yacht Marine about 10 days now and have completed the two main tasks before leaving - i.e. a rigging check an replacement of all the running rigging and also the replacement of the batteries. We now have completely new gel cells, a larger charger and a Mastervolt monitoring system.  Now to try and close down a number of smaller items.

Diane took the opportunity to take a two trip to Ephasus and Pamukale whilst I was on board with the workmen. She seems to have had a good time so lookout for the story in her blog.

We are hoping to leave here on Friday or Saturday, clearing out from Turkey at Brozburun and checking into Greece in Symi. - Then its on to Santorini and beyond.
