As we said in our last letter we had Nadin, Christian and mama visititing and it was great having them here. We had so much fun and good food, until I got sick. No matter, I am now, as well as I can be and we are having so much fun.

We are slowly getting the boat ready to sail on Monday the 15th of May. I tell you, there is so much to do!! How we had time to work amazes me!! You start one end, and finish and have to start all over again! Anyway, keeps us busy!

The weather is has been very good, still a little on the cool side ( for me) but it’s getting warmer.

4 of our earlier collegues. were in our area and we took them and a few other good friends sailing for the day. Started the morning with champagne and strawberries!! Sailed to a place called Phaselis. Took the dingy to see the ancient city and sailed back to have chicken salad and the works! We hope they had a good time, we certainly did! Erik had 7 women onboard and all the other yachtiees were very envious! That was our first trip after the winter and of course we had a few technical “snags” but as the ladies said they were used to delays due to technical problems!

We were supposed to leave this week, but at the moment the marina is getting full due to the East Mediterranean Yacht Rally. EMYR…….check it out on the internett. We hope to do that next year. Approx. 81 boats are coming over, there is going to be a formal dinner on Saturday to welcome them all ( actually to be honest we are staying just for the free dinner!) Tonight the marina is going to full and we will visit our friends who have the best view on their boat, eat lovely Texan food and check the boats out.

We are not sure when we will be able to write again as we will be sailing, but we will keep you informed when we can. Bye for now.
