Internet at last!

Hi again everyone,

When Laurie & Lionel ... our sailing hosts ... told us that Internet was difficult to find over here, we didn't quite believe them. Until we arrived in Sardinia, all of our hotels had complimentary internet computer for us to use. In Cagliari; we actually met folks who had never even heard the word "internet"... can you believe it?

Anyway, after boarding Sea Whisper, we waited out the Mistral winds in the relative shelter of the Madellena Islands. Then we visited Napolean's neighbourhood and spent a couple of nights in Bonnefacio. Cruised up the west coast of Corsica and anchored in a secluded bay and swam off the boat in beautiful blue-green water. Over the next 24 hours, we completed our trans-Mediteranean crossing, and then survived the act of performing Mediteranean Tie with 25 knots blowing on our beam!

We re spending our last couple of days in a small village called Thoule, just across the bay from Cannes, where the famous International Film Festival is going on. This suits us just fine... we got caught in the Cannes traffic on our way here and have been avoiding the place ever since:

Today is our last day... we re off to Biot to find some pretty blown glass and we have managed to score a fine bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape for this evening!

This will be our last entry.

Hope you are well,

Can somebody please try to arrange some sunshine for us when we get home? We don t want to lose our tans :-)

love,
CJ&K
