22 July

Well, it is all change really!!!
We are still in Yasmine having met all the lovely Ex Pat people living on their boats here!
We have been made so welcome and are partying very hard, we have been to vineyards, happy hours, restaurants, drinks on boats and downed lazy bottles of rose with many a lunchtime session!
We found we had no hot water but a lovely man spent many hot hours trying to sort it and now we are waiting for a part from the UK, that Jo managed to source for us on a Sunday afternoon!!!!!
Once we have the water repaired we will take MY TIME out for a run and if she is all OK pop along to Port El Kantuio for a week.

16 July

Well if we wanted hot we sure as hell got it!
It is 42 degrees, 114c in old money!
The boat fared quite well baring in mind we have been gone so long, a few marks on the seats from melting bike tyres but apart from that all is perfect!
The plan is now to go back along the coast of Tunisia and then go over to Sicily in one hop!
As long as the boat is cleaned off underneath properly we should have plenty of fuel and so back to pasta we go, maybe Sunday!

Well after a difficult year we are finally going back to the boat on the 14th July. The plan is to try and go to Greece this year if Martin's back is OK. Mixed feelings about it all, firstly getting our lives back on track and going ahead and living the dream that looked doubtful 3 months ago is a wonderful thing, but leaving the family is another thing all together!

I am already tearful at the thought of saying goodbye so heaven knows what the reality will be like.


Anyway, if this blog works you will be able to see where we are and what escapades we have along the way!


Take care everyone and look forward to seeing you in the winter
