Finally back to Sailing, arrived on the boat on 15th June it was in great condition considering that I had been away since November 2007.  It was my birthday on 16th June so I celebrated in Barbate.

 

The week was spent working on the boat,  the Greeks have a siesta from 14:00 to 18:00 so jobs went a little slow.  The Auto-helm is finally working again J

 

The crew Roger and Mike arrived on 19th June after a bit of a de-tour,  their flight was re-scheduled to an earlier time and they missed it.

 

We took the boat out of some sea trials on 21st June and all seemed to be working well.   

 

 Sea Trials on 21st June (Mike left,  Roger right notice full head of hair on Mike):

 

That evening we decided to lighten the load and have some hair cuts,  Hmmm,  I think mine was a bit close.

 

On 23rd June we escaped the clutches of the wonderful Lefkas marina and headed to Corfu,we anchored in a place called Ay Stefanos, we stayed there overnight and had a great meal in a restaurant overlooking the bay.
