Well we have had a great couple of months since we returned to Josephine in Mahon. A few long passages some good and some not so good! Ray says there is no wind in the Med.! Well let me tell you we have had lots and not all good our last long passage for Siracusa to Argostoli which is the capital of Captain Corelli Mandolin island which took 44 hrs and when we arrived in the dark looking for lights to guide us in over tired and felt like I had been in a washing machine on a cool salty wash for most of it it was great to see land but then it took another 6 hours to tie up! But it was worth it this is beautiful and I don't want to sail at night again .
The wild life we have seen over the last few weeks has been great dolphins regularly come and race with us , we have seen a couple of Whales and lots of Turtles floating around and waving we had a passenger the other night on a crossing a Swallow that flew on and off the boat several times before settling in the saloon above the sink for the night and left us at dawn!
We are going to enjoy the Ionian this summer with friends and will keep you informed of our travels.
