Cold in Africa
13-Sep-2007, Bizerte/Tunesia
We arrived in Bizerte/Tunesia on Tuesday 11SEP after an uneventful 2-day passage from Malta. Ironically, we had to come to North-Africa to feel cool again (still at 25°C though...). We will likely stay here another day and then take off for Menorca (possibly with a stopover on Sardinia, depending on the wind) as soon as the weather is favourable. Yesterday an American boat with two small children (2-years and 6-months) tied up next to us so we can start a temporary little play group. Next update probably from Menorca - stay tuned...
In Malta
Nana08-Sep-2007, Grand Harbour, Malta
Well, we had originally planned on 6 days in Malta and it will end up being a little more than two weeks! But we have really enjoyed our time here and gotten important work done. The big project was getting the mast taken down at Kalkara Boat Yard, an excellent family business run by four brothers, their sister, and a hoard of nephews and nieces (meanwhile their father was off enjoying his retirement on his own boat in Sicily for a few weeks). They lifted the mast off on a Monday and set to work riveting a storm sail track on the mast (for the very rough conditions we hope never to see) as well as steps so that we can more easily climb the mast (so far it has been winching up). After overtime on Monday and a push on Tuesday morning, they re-stepped the mast on Namani that afternoon and we are once again a sailboat - and a better equipped one, too.
Von Milos nach Malta - Leben auf der schiefen Ebene...
Markus30-Aug-2007, Kalkara Creek, Malta
Nachdem wir bereits letzten Donnerstag (23.08.) im Grand Harbour von Malta angekommen sind wird's nun endlich Zeit für ein deutsches Update an alle, die es interessiert. Wir sind am 17. August gegen Mittag von Milos aufgebrochen, nachdem wir ein paar sehr schöne Tage in den Zykladen verbracht hatten (Kithnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Kimolos und Milos). Die Welt war auch dort klein: In Milos hatten wir 100m entfernt von Avensa geankert, deren Crew, Anka und Gerald, 25 Jahre lang am Kasseler Staatstheater gearbeitet hatten (meine Heimatstadt).
