"It's been a long time since I have written to you but as some of you are aware I live in Spain in the sun, and by the time I get up every day work my bilge pumps and generally creak and groan on my moorings its time for a "siesta" then one day flows into a week etc, et. Contrary to some people's thinking the sun has been good for me (43 degrees c in august) my old frames are dry most of the year and the damp has gone without my planks opening up.
I recently moved from Puerto de la Duquesa to Gibraltar for a few months, and then hope to move to the rivers and canals of France (Canal du Midi region) where my owners Roy and Tracy Sawyer will do a little cruising, I think this will be better for me.
When we came from our Port in Spain to Gibraltar rounding Europa Point, (Med meets Atlantic) we rolled a lot and took that green salty stuff over my bows (didn't like that) but everrything worked out fine.
Must go now as Roy has come to renew some frames and canvas on my forward coach roof. (Not bad afterr 45 years).
Give us a call and come see us some time.
Happy Cruising, Adios." |
