Hi again!

Sorry we have been a litlte lazy updating our website, but here we are again. Summer 2007 was fantastic and hot. We were on the East Med Yacht Rally (EMYR)There were 6 of us onboard and we sailed from Kemer (Turkey) to North Cyprus, back to Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and back to Israel, where we had a chance to travel to Jordan and the Dead Sea. Wow!! We have seen and experienced so much. Met so many interesting people and eaten lots of lovely food.

After we got back from the EMYR we sailed around Gøcek area and finally had the boat in Marmaris where we had a lot of work done on the boat.

We have been back in Norway and Erik had his lens operation and spent Xmas at Bømlo with my mum. Mum came with us to Marmaris. Not bad for a 80 year old woman!! We spent New Year onboard and then mum went back to London, Erik went to California to see Marius ( his son) and I flew to Kuala Lumpur to spend time with  my sister Nargis and my brother.in.law Taj.  K.L. is nice and hot and that’s what agrees with me most.I had a fantastic time in Malaysia and then Nargis and I flew to South India via Colombo (Sri Lanka) Nargis and I spent 2 weeks in a Ayurveda resort for all our aches and pains. Nargis (bless her) came with me, as I wanted to try something else for all my problems. We had a great time together, the food there was all vegetarian, yoga everyday,and lovely oil massages everyday. Unfortunately the treatment did not help me with my problem, but the doctors recogn that 2 weeks was too little

Coming back to Turkey, I was stuck in Bangkok for 2 nights and 3 days and I flew back to K.L and Erik (rescue team) came over with more tickets so I could get back onboard! We flew via Dubai, back to Istanbul and back onboard. Good to be back in Turkey even tho’ it’s cold here.

Erik and I are off to Cappadocia on Tusday the 25th of March and we will be gone for 5 days.

April 4th we will be in Norway for 2 weeks and then back onboard.

I guess you have worked out that the boat is in Marmaris. The marina is called Yacht Marina, and it’s a way from town center. Nice enough town, with a nice market every Thursday and nice restaurants, including an Indian restaurant. The nearest airport is called Dalalman. About 1.5 hrs drive.

Our first guests arrive from South Carolina on the 11th of May and then next set of guests ( my cousin and his wife from Calgary) will spend time with us onboard.

I hope that you enjoy looking at the pictures.

We will try and update the website more often.

Thanks and hope to see some of you onboard.
