Repair work continues slowly as the days are ferociously hot here. Also
there is the distraction of a swimming pool and a supermarket that sells UK
newspapers. I need to catch up with current affairs but as far as I can see
nothing much has changed since August 2007 apart from it looking worse for
my job prospects. I'm still waiting for houses to be given away free with
petrol.
Lori Evans, Atlantic crossing crew, came for an enjoyable visit the other
day. She was sailing in Turkey with friends. It's always nice to see that
old crew didn't become too traumatized by their experience on Graptolite and
can still face the sea and a bottle of wine or three with the skipper.
Pacific Colin and Atlantic Ian and Liz have also been in Turkey recently but
unfortunately not close enough to meet up. I'll be here for a while guys.
Offspring Tom arrives in Dalaman on Tuesday.
