A vaporetto cruise sounds much more civilised and Venice Carnival must be fun. As is Martinique, St Lucia, the Grenadines… Surely we can tempt you to join us?! xxx

Just returned to our apartment after an evening of good food and a gentle vaporetto cruise along the grand canal in Venice. Much less exciting, no waves and quite a bit colder. Carnival is a gentle (genteel even) affair here.

Thanks George. So nice to be on dry land and do all the mundane things too. Going to the supermarket and laundrette take on a new pleasure after 3 weeks at sea xx

Thanks so much Jetski. Of course there were the down times but the memories of those recede and now I just have a huge feeling of achievement. I hope all going well at your end xx

Hi Gerard.. Just about speaking! Always helpful to have a third on board to keep the maritals at bay ;-). Sorry to hear about Eric Duffy. Hugh will be in touch xx

Not sure if Hugh’s blog is restful or completely soporific. Happy hour at the Crow’s Nest is 4 to 6 pm. Rum punches slip down easily after 3 dry weeks at sea xx
