Quick update

Life has been carrying on at a sedate pace. It's now getting to be quite hot most days and the beach and the blue Med beckon most days. Mike jumps in then quickly out again - but once he is used to the temp he swims quite a way out . 
We've visited Mont Juic Castle - an old Barcelona fortification - with magnificent views over the city.  On Sunday we actually ventured out of the port with Dan and Luna and anchored off on Badalona beach where the lads jumped overboard!!! Monday was Alison's birthday - the day started with a champagne breakfast and ended with cocktails in the city.
Tomorrow we are evacuating from Port Forum as the Prima Vera Musica - pop festival - is taking place right next door.  The 'music' starts at 4.00pm and ends at 6.00am.  Far too late for oldies like us.  We'll go along the coast for a few days then back to stock up before the trip at last starts on the 6th.

We have noticed that the blog is read all over the world - thanks, danker, merci, gracias to all our readers - it would be good to hear from some of you.

Not sure when we will be able to update after leaving Barcelona so take care all.
