Well, here we go again.  We had a wonderful time with all the kids in the Balearic Islands, Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera.  We put the boat up on the hard in a shipyard in Barcelona at the beginning of September and went to Morocco for two weeks.  We had a great time travelling around the country in a minibus with a lovely bunch of young people. We arrived back in Sydney in late September and have had a wonderful summer with the family.  We enjoyed all the grandkids and also our lovely trip to Japan for two weeks of skiing.  The maintenance is all done at home now and we are just about ready to continue our journey.  We fly to Paris on Sunday (4th May) and from there we go back to our "second home", Artemis V, just in time for the European summer.  Our first stop will be Corsica, then Sardinia, Sicily, round the "boot" of Italy to Brindisi and then across the Adriatic to Albania, Montenegro and Croatia where we will leave the boat at the end of summer.  On the way we will be picking up lots of friends so the summer should be fun.
