position 53:19N 04:39W. Arrived in Holyhead on Sunday evening and will stay here for a week before heading down to Portugal.Julie got a train back to Thirsk where she is resuming Grandmother duties! Meanwhile I have had a busy time getting all the jobs done. The AIS is up and running. The windlass is working but will need servicing in Portugal. The electric toilet is back working but I am waiting for a service kit to replace the non return valve which currently is not doing its job! I have bought 3 new fenders as they seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate! Lots of domestics washing, changing bedding  , provisioning cleaning and tidying. Still time to go over to Traeth Bychan to visit my family and a day back home. My new crew John Cheshire arrives on Saturday and we will set sail either Sunday or Monday stopping in St Mary's Scilly Isles where we will pick up Rowland.
