Now we finally have wifi internet access (all be it very slow) we can upload some photos from the last 6 weeks.....

The boats dressed overall in the marina

Dressesed as cardinal marks for the fancy dress party.  The theme was ‘The Sea’ and we thought this was an original idea but four other boats also thought of it!   Although we were the only ones with flashing lights!

Our neighbour dressed as our new airbreeze wind generator

Provisioning for the trip.  We bought fresh fruit and vegetables from the market, washed and dried it all on deck and then put it into our fruit net or in a dark crate in the aft cabin.  Most of it has lasted the 26 days!
