Postscript Devon 13th October

This is one of 4 uploaded today - so see previous ones for last leg of 2009

We have been away now for 4 months. In some ways feels a lifetime, in others no time at all. We have come a long way (not quite to Caroline's as originally planned) and had an tremendous journey of cultures, places, people and sailing experiences. We are sad to stop, but it is also good to be coming home - to see family (including new members Lucas) and friends and have renewed connection with the outside world. It's also quite nice at home.

So it is wading through piles of post, doing some work (work!?) for a forthcoming meeting, thinking about finally replacing the shed roof and getting back into the fray. Until next time.

Plans next year are Portgual, Gibraltar, Spain, N Africa?, Balearics, Sardinia, other islands?, Malta......Not sure.

So signing off for 2009. Au Revoir, Adios, Adeus, and we'll let you know when the next leg of the story begins next spring.
