They have somewhat encouraged me to do this myself, one day. I especially enjoy "a storm is coming" "night sail" "into cave" and "sailing 7". Excellent photographs!

A bit messy due to the weather but still quite interesting. So nice to read the report now and get back the memories of those October days! Thanks for publishing, now it is safely saved for future reference. All the best to the school and our crew! Hope that the Spring will be more letting to get to those mysterious Cyclades... P.S. Just heard about an earthquake around Kalamata, which was felt in Athens. Hope Aegina is OK? Yeah, it was a good school. A bit messy due to the weather but still quite interesting.

I have read a lot of blogs this month showing puppies. Labs are the best darn dogs. You will have no problem finding them homes. I have three Chihuahuas. Come by my blog and say, "HI" and read all about them. Hope to see you soon. Wow, is this the months for puppies? I have read a lot of blogs this month showing puppies. Labs are the best darn dogs.

The night watches were indeed busy. I don't know if you remeber that I said I was coming to Greece this month... In fact it's tomorrow but I've checked the itinery of that well know 'luxury' cruise company easycruise and unfortunately they are not stopping on Aegina on this trip. Shucks. The rest of the Harmony trip went very well indeed. My favourite bit was the 2 spells of night sailing we had between Sicily and Greece. Sails, stars and no motor for a good 48 hours. Absolute magic. Easycruise promises to be an altogether different experience! All the best. Rob Hi George,

I would like to see more of the boat underway if possible. I am an older diesel mech/truck driver/ crane operator/ big rig wrecker guy. So I don't get to see much water or the beautiful sail boats working the wind. I recently purchased two little 1 meter RC sail yatchs and have been having some fun with them on the local lake (big Puddle )... two because sailing alone isn't as much fun ..lol. Learning to sail these things is relaxing and chalenging. Hope to see more James M.

The party in Poros was an all-nighter. It all started with an innocent round of Irish coffees and it snow-balled from there. It was a night where Jamie had an unsuccessfull attempt to lure a Swedish/Korean beauty and Padraig "lost his wheel"... Explainations of the whats or whereabouts of his wheel remain, to this day, unresolved. Thanks to the Karen for tolerating us!! It was great week! Yes, we were all a little fragile that day.
