Arrived in Bayona last night and were welcomed by Steve and Carol on Innamorata. Super! We have arrived safe and sound with the anchor well set.

We enjoyed a restful night, just had a cooked breakfast on Innamorata, thanks to the bacon Jaz and Russell brought us to our anchorage

at the Anchor Stone near Dartmouth. What a treat.

Little Robin stayed the night under the saloon table and flew off this morning.

Unfortunately we found Peppi last night who got squashed in the fore-cabin during our sail, how sad as we were so fond of the little tame fellow.

We will do a sea burial a bit later in the day.

Unfortunately the strong wind (Force 6) and a second of inattention caused a jybe and with a big bang ripped our mainsail

traveler out. We dropped the sail in a hurry and motored into the harbour.

Now after a very enjoyable morning with Steve and Carol we have to work on Kahia and hopefully make a good repair of the damage,
