36.58.29N 25.01.48E I’m sitting at the navigation table writing and it is darned windy outside, though not as windy as last night. In the middle of the night I moved from the fore to the aft cabin to get some sleep as the anchor chain groaned and swung us around all night; the wind gusting to 30 knots. Ross had made some adjustments to the snubber during the day; not one of his more successful

We are back on water! Actually, we have now been on the water for 5 days and are happily bobbing away in a protected bay (Ormos Vlikho) south of Nidri on the mountainous island of Levkas in the Ionian Sea.Today is the first windy day – at the moment low 20’s knots and mid afternoon, but it is expected to be in the high 20’s over night and higher tomorrow so we are staying put. Temperature wise,

Today I write from Nisos Kerkyra, or the island of Corfu as us English speakers know it. Corfu town is a delightful place imbued with character that can only be acquired over a time – a long time - and with contributions from many invaders and occupiers including the Ottomans, Italians, Venetians, French, the British (who continue to have quite a presence here) and, of course, the Greeks

Hi AllI have made a few changes to the blog "Comments" settings and I think I now (finally!) have "Comments" a little better organised so that they will publish in the right place.Here is the first publishable comment, but because I only changed the formating now I've pasted it in here...Richardrmf said...Hi.Thanks for the tip about the "comments" button.

New!I have had a fiddle with Google Maps and we now have a map of the trip. You can use the tools to move around, zoom in or out, view a satelite image of the map and much more, but it may be a bit slow depending on your connection.View Larger Map 3 Months, 4 Countries It feels like a bit of a watershed. We have now been living onboard for over 3 months and we are in our fourth country,

We seem to have written rather an epic for this entry, but then there has been a bit of drama over the last month. Apologies to those who are time poor and will only get a chance too look at the pics.Sorry Craig, no map yet but we will find one at some stage.From Carolyn...Kut, Vis Otok, 16 August 2007ChangesAfter weeks of consistently hot weather it has become changeable - ever since Trogir

We have just arrived in Biograd, back on the mainland coast. The last internet cafe was the one from hell so I've waited a couple of days to put up posts from both Ross and myself.Carolyn's view of the world...Murter, Murter Otok, 12 July 2007The IslandsWe have spent the 12 days or so working our way (well, sailing actually) from Rab (the first three pic's are of Rab which is an incredibly

We are now in the town of Rab on the island of Rab. The coastline here is incredibly dramatic with the Velebit mountains as a backdrop to many islands. Like a number of the islands in the area, the eastern side is almost completely devoid of vegetation and the western side quite lush. The barren side is due to the winds that blast between the mainland coast and the islands - the dreaded Bora.

Friends, this is predominantly for you who have been so neglected. Family, you have read most of this before.As I have been so bad at getting this blog underway I thought I would put together a quick and dirty slightly edited version of emails which have been sent over the last month, principally to my family in Adelaide. Apologies for the repetition.One of the reasons for delay, is that we have

You have to start somewhere, so for me this is it - my first blog, first blog entry.In May 2007, Ross (my partner) and I will embark on a sailing adventure.Actually, it has started already. Every day there is something new to discuss, to learn, to think about, to read, to recall, to do, to plan and to dream.
