In April/May, Ju will be spending a month sailing from Messolonghi, in the Gulf of Patras, round the Peloponnese to Crete, with friends. Meantime, Liz and crew will be sailing Little Else back to Scotland from Lagos, Portugal. After a month or so reacquainting ourselves with West coast waters, we are off to Porto Santo, Madeira to crew for a friend back to the UK via the Azores, aboard her Victoria 38 Tamar Swallow. And in August or September, there are tentative plans to go to the Med crewing for friends as they sail back to Lagos from Greece.

Meantime we are working to get the boat back to sailing trim from being a liveaboard vessel for so long, prior to her trip north. So away with the pot plant, the candle holders and the electric kettle and heaters, off with the satellite dish, and on with the engine maintenance and antifouling!
