Chsalonina - Chizol - Special Day

Special Day

Chsalonina - Chizol

Chizol has now been sold to sail around again

Thu 1 Apr 2010 00:29

We have had a slow night and day with winds slowing a great deal for yachts 'South' of the line our position is 06:33s 106:55w and sailing between 4 and 5 knots

I said yesterday or the day before that we were making water and power when we liked - well too soon the gen today failed to do anything and having traced the fault it would seem that the starter stop solenoid was stopping the fuel getting through so I removed the guts of it and now the gen does not want to stop hey ho a pleasant day after last nights events-------------------

Alexandra gave birth to her second daughter just before 02:00 on the 31st March 2010 - Ellie Alexandra Gravett came into this world weighing in at 9lbs and 4oz
mummy is doing fine as is Dad John. Olivia was wondering why mummy was thin again and who is that!

I celebrated the event with Marguet Champagne and was joined by Jane - the babe was toasted very well indeed

I am so proud

Sheikh
