We have had a lovely summer and due to heat and strong northerly winds we have decided to winterise Josephine and head home.
I am sat in Little Haywood looking at the fog as I write this we have been home now for 3 weeks and enjoyed cool wet weather and just recently some lovely warm sunny weather.
This is our Josephine in her winter home and being cared for by Olympic Marina and David.
Our last fortnight was spent sailing / motoring through the Gulf of Corinth the wind often against us despite the prevailing wind is usually westerly and not much swimming due to the number of jelly fish!!
This photo was taken from the stern of Josephine so we were not about to jump in just a cold shower to cool down.
When we returned to the Aegean Sea the wind was always northerly as expected or nothing so unless we wanted to be blown to the south we headed to the marina and arranged flights and the lift out. There a few winter jobs to be done to prepare for next year; sad to go but the relentless heat had finally got to us .
So until next spring have a good wintr and an early Happy Christmas and Happy 2016!!
