oh dear i'm not so good at this!

Kalispera,
well it seems, despite this blog being on my mind quite a lot (understatement) it never really gets done..... (big apologies!)

Not all bad though.  But at least to keep an update on our position etc even if i don't have the actual means to put my half-written text / photos up, here's a quick summary of the last month (wow, two down and one to go!)

Malta - Crete = with Mael, 5 1/2 days with the wind against us on the last bit..... oooooh how frustrating!

Crete  = big sis joined us, awesome trekking, sightseeing, relaxing and eating / drinking enjoying greek lifestyle :0)

Crete - Santorini islands - Naxos = all with K, awesome wee contiki tour around the bays and islands, mixing and escaping the crazy numbers of tourists.   Can't believe how many people and cameras there can be on one hill for the sun-setting into the clouds! heehee, quick, sail-away!

Naxos - Paros and Paros again and again- K left but only after we cracked the cave of Zeus :( , new crew though, Steph, Bea and Ju!!! WINDY WINDY.  More eating, drinking, speedy bumpy sailing and anchor pulling.

Paros (yup, finally departed for good!) to Kithnos - Steph and Bea left in true style and Mum and Dad joined the three of us to take a plesant sail to an anchorage in Kithnos. 

Kithnos to Athens - Ju and M & D left..... :( all alone again! totally bizzare but amazing sailing at last! Made athens in great time and have just spent our first night on a REAL BED!  whhoooop.  And not even woken by the baby!  Awesome to see GG and Anna + the new1.

Tonight...... sadly preparing to leave Athens.... more of an issue for our minds than work on the boat as she seems in tip top shape (we hope).  

One month to go and already we've started our journey WEST!  Mamma and Pappa Kherian to join us soon. :)

a brief and not so entertaining summary but that's where we're at.
hugs and more to follow one day,
