Evans has settled into our new flat is in a lovely old small village called Ceyreste (43° 13' 0N, 5° 37' 60E), and he is biking every day, usually to and from to the slightly bigger town of La Ciotat. This is a very peaceful place, where the church bells ring on Sunday (the local priest comes and goes on a scooter) and people sip very small coffees along the street cafes.

Beth is joining Evans in Ceyreste in a week. During the fall, she will be back in the US doing various slide shows and seminars. You can see her speaking schedule on our website www.bethandevans.com/presentations.htm

Hawk is all hauled out and snug in the marina near Annapolis (Cypress Marine) where we originally built her interior. She is in surprisingly good shape. So, the yard has a short work list, mainly focused on renewing ancillary engine components (like the rubber mounts) and the sails are off being looked at with stitching being touched up and chafe patches being renewed.
