I did not post yesterday because from a sailing
point of view, there is nothing to report. It was to just be a day for my birthday celebrations. The only sailing news was that we had
coffee on the Southerly 42 boat we saw yesterday and met Adrian and Pennie, the
owners. They are headed to Malta
for the winter, but will be going to Greece as we are next season. As we know two other Southerly boats in
the area we might even be able to arrange a mini - rally next year.
The weather has been sunny and hot. We went out for a very nice dinner for
my birthday and had some interesting food. The only problem was that I tried a cannoli (special
Sicilian sweet) at teatime and it so filled me up that I could hardly face
eating dinner! But we managed and
enjoyed ourselves.
Today was devoted to domestic matters. We found the launderette and left two
weeks worth of linens with them to do a service wash. Then we finally went to the market which is wonderful. I have stocked up on fresh food for at
least 4 days!
The afternoon starts very hot and then suddenly
the sky clouds over. The weather
has definitely turned. We walk into
town and get rained on quite a lot.
The forecast for the next few days is for rain. We really cannot decide what to do, but
think we will try to move on tomorrow.
If the forecast is correct we might beat the rain into the next port and
then it is only one more hop to Ragusa.
We shall see how it looks tomorrow.
After all these weeks of seeing virtually no
other English boats, the marina is now full of them. The Oyster we met earlier is here and an Island Packet all
also headed for Ragusa. We guess
we will start regularly meeting the English contingent now.
