Arrived back in Marmaris on Monday to check up on the old girl.
Just as well. I had foolishly left some (usually rainproof) hatches open a
crack for ventilation as it was very hot when I left. The rain must have
been 'orrrible over the last two months as both heads were filled up with
rainwater and also mud from the Sahara dust that had finally washed off the
rigging. The dinghy is also filled with water and weed and looks like it has
been entertainment for a flock of incontinent ducks.
The weather is cold, wet and windy and I hear the Tropics calling; "come to
me, come to me"
