Forecast poor and Phoebe B stays in port.  Provisions sought and loaded.  Long lazy lunch for the remaining crew in the bar......  Meanwhile Louise improving enough to go home on her own and Colin allowed to rejoin tomorrow.
 
            Abi Goes up the mast!!
 
 
Saturday 24th
 
Set out for Cagliari to collect Adam and Colin, in a reasonable northwesterly only to find it turns westerly south of the island!  More diesel is burned as everyone pounds the waves in a 10.5 hour marathon.
 
Set out for Cartagena in some sun and a favourable if light NE wind.  Mix of sail and motor, weather warming up.  Night sails quiet for a change.

More of the same, but today the expense of lost gear and adjustments to the fishing tackle pay off and we land a Dolphin fish !!!!!!!!
