ELBA AT LAST !

06 June 2013 | PORTOFERRAIO, ELBA, ITALY
Una.
The crew - Skipper Robin, 1st Boy Douglas and 1st Girl Roshan - of ‘Leesa Christina’ met us and 'dinghied' us out to where she was anchored in PORTOFERRAIO BAY. It was great to see our son and grandchildren !
Robin had launched her from the hard the previous day and brought her round into the anchorage beside the marina.
She looked very smart in white with red accessories. To us, used to a 29 footer she looked enormous at 41 feet! There was so much room down below with 3 cabins, a big galley and dining area plus two loos with hot and cold running showers! Such luxury but a great choice for a family of six!

About:
We started married life 50 years ago owning a 24ft wooden sailing boat 'LYNETTE' and after a few years owned a 50ft wooden ketch 'SUNSHINE'. We sailed in the Clyde Estuary in Scotland exploring the Hebrides during summer holidays. Next we had a one-design Piper 24 Class racing keel boat. [...]
Extra: This year our son bought a 41 ft. Jeanneau Voyage sloop 'LEESA CHRISTINA' lying in Elba, Italy. Allan and I helped him crew her across to Greece.
