Jun. 9, 2007 - Finally arived in A Coruna!
Had a great trip to Spain on northeasterly winds - it was a bit of a rollercoaster especially the last night when we had a easterly gale force 7 which sent us off course and occasionally filled the cockpit with water! It took 4 days and Fiona loved it. We had huge pods of dolphins all the way and some strange looking sunfish. A Coruna is warm sunny and we are enjoying the vino and tapas. We΄ll keep in touch and will post some photos soon. |

Dec. 21, 2006 - Season's Greetings.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our family and friends. We are safely tucked away at the Royal Cork Yacht Club at Crosshaven. We may not be as far south as we had hoped for this winter but we are very happy here. The boat is safe, the setting is very scenic, the weather is fairly mild, the guinness is beautiful and the people are fantastic! We are flying to Manchester on Boxing Day and will be in Whitby for New Year before flying back to Cork on 3rd January so hope to catch up with as many of our family and friends as possible.
The photo of the steel sloop Mirfak is owned by a brave Aussie we have met called Conrad. Conrad set off from Cork on 18th December to cross Biscay singlehanded. We wish him fair winds, safe passage and a very happy Christmas landfall in Spain!
Happy Christmas Everyone - from Dave and Sue xx
