On Wednesday night we had a party, with 13 people aboard. We couldn't get a picture with them all in, but reading round from the top left you can see Virginie's knees (from Lagon Bleu), Kat from Reliant, Stephane of Mana, Kiel of Gouasse, Rob of Reliant, Pip, the very edge of Ivor of Diura, and the backs of heads of Harry and Liz of Junnica. That's France, the US, Australia, NZ, Northern Ireland and England all in one cockpit! (Sadly the Japanese couldn't make it.)
We hope to be off next week, Our first stop will be Marseilles, where Paul is coming to join us on Saturday for a few days as we cruise slowly east along the Calanques towards the Cote d'Azur. A gentle summer is the plan, recovering from our travels of the last two years and the hard work of the last two months.
