We raised our anchor and departed Falmouth on Monday just as Mirabella V raised hers and we met in the channel - not much room for us! We were heading round the corner for Nelson's Dockyard and they were heading for a very tight berth in Falmouth which required a tug and much radio chitchat which we were interested to hear. We are now securely tied to the dock for Christmas and we had an early family Christmas Dinner before Andrew departed on Saturday for a charter in St Lucia.

Oriole
We hope to catch up with him again at
the end of January when they are due back in Antigua, as are we. Lots of
friends have descended on Antigua for Christmas and it has been a very social
time and Rob and Dani have been introduced to the yachtie scene by Andrew and
have been burning the candle at both ends. Next week we will be off sailing
again but in the local waters around Antigua. We wish everyone a very
Happy Christmas.
