Logs

Our progress can be seen on www.sailtrac.com should anyone wish to follow our progress. We are hoping to spend next year in the Western Mediterranean

We left Cowes in May 2006 and coast hopped down to Bilbao where we left Counter Girl for the winter in Las Arenas Yacht Club marina where they looked after us really well. We returned in April 2007 and coast hopped from Bilbao to Povoa da Varzim leaving the boat here for July & August. We reached Gibraltar in October and have left CG in Ceuta.

Across the Channel …

Our situation may differ from some as we live onboard full time, we have with us our pets ie 2 cats & 1 dog. We had planned to cruise Turkey next year but have just recieved e-mail from the Turkish Consulate that they will only accept 1 pet into turkey. This applies with no exception.

The marina is very busy however the anchorage just outside offers good holding & good protection apart from strong east winds when a large sea can build & make for an uncomfortable stay. The marina staff are all very helpful & friendly nothing appears to be too much trouble. The HLR Anna (co owner) is very helpful.

Last week I took delivery of a boat at Largs Marina, West coast Scotland.

To transport her down to Brightligsea , home port, we used ''M.J.S. Transporters''
