June

What a month June has been; amazing highs and awful lows. The easiest way to tell you is probably as a diary.


12th Graham and Pat arrived. It seemed like the twelfth of never after all their problems but thankfully they made it.

15th Mike’s new teeth installed and looking magnificent – many many thanks to Judith and Hesther. We left BCN at last and headed for Corsica.

16th calm seas but Alison and Pat not feeling well. Saw loads of dolphins though which was better than I'd ever thought it would be(Alison).

17th same as 16th until about midnight – engine failure. Mike and Graham spent hours taking engine to pieces and putting together again – success – what clever boys they are.

18thWeather deteriorated and we arrived into Calvi with virtually no fuel in rough seas – but at last Alison was over sea sickness and loved the exhilaration of the sail. Went straight into the ‘Carinage’ ( boat hospital) but it was Saturday so nothing done until Monday.
