Comments:Hello all. I have been keeping tabs on your trip and really pleased your all having such a great time. Sorry to hear the weather has turned wintery and even a little scary at times!! Glad your'e all OK. I remember visiting Fiscardo in Cephalonia on the back of a trials bike in the pitch black along mountain roads having dinner in the harbour. It was beautiful but I remember being scared to go back. Really looking forward to seeing you all when you get back so remember to leave some time for us in your schedule. Jack is now a year old and very nearly walking, he has just literally done his first few steps on his own. Love to you all Magda xxx PS Call me as soon as you get back!

Comments:Hi Paul Philippa and Os Great to hear all your news. Far more interesting than Chobham except we are off ski-ing on friday for 2 weeks over christmas and new year. we are going to the three valleys and there seems to be masses of snow and hopefully sun when we are there. Have seen Anthony and will be sorry to see them go but have not managed to meet up for a drink but will hopefully see their refurnished house. Have not yet heard if Donald(the vet) has got planning permission to run his practice from Suttons. I t will be sad to see the bakery go but no-one wants to take it over - not surprising. Pat and Rosemary are still around and just the same! Have a great christmas and happy new year. lol sally

Comments:HELLOOOOOOOOO I just found your html address. I'd obviously bookmarked it when you gave it to me and then thrown the paper away. I thought I'd just have to wait to hear about everything when you get back. That is if you get back. My advice to you ... stay on the boat forever maybe! Golly. I'll have to read the history and look at the gallery tomorrow. Its 2.12am here I've just got back from working and I've had a few sherrys so I'm a bit over excited about finding your site.

Name:Peter Ferris
Comments:Hi Everyone, Just read your latest report, sounds wonderful. Looked up Almerimar, SE of Granada if I have the right one? Life at Wiley is changing rapidly. I have been replaced by a Blackwell person pending my retirement next May. Found a berth at Bormes 20 metres from the apartment but had to buy the boat occupying it, so selling the Benny. Not going to tell you what the new boat is cos you will laugh. It floats so will do. Had fun arranging a survey with a man who spoke only French. Not sure if I will get a survey or have to marry his daughter. Had a good week sailing a Dufour 385 from Bormes to St Tropez and back, now an expert at reversing in. Recommend Port Cros as an overnight anchorage, magic. Hope to spend most of next summer at Bormes and sailing locally so if you head up the Spanish coast and turn right at Perpignan we should meet up. Best wishes, Peter

Comments:Hiya all. Hello again. Here is part 2 Rang around for renewal insurance quotes yesterday and it is as much as the Audi TT - figure that!!! Work is thin on the ground, as I have only been given one day in the last 3 weeks. Shame I can't transport myself and spend some time with you guys. Still got loads to do and buy for the baby. It seems I have too much time to think about things and not enough decisions being made. If you though I was indecisive before being pregnant, well!! Although I am still waiting for carpet to be laid in the spare room until I can put anything in there. I have just washed all the new baby outfits etc and hung them on the line, which look so cute. I better go, as I would ramble on some more if on email and not the guestbook. So pleased you are all having a fab time, and I really enjoy reading all your tales. Give a big kiss to Oscar and to Paul (on the cheek). PS I did give Tim a print out of the website to give to your Dad. Take care and bye for

Comments:Hiya all. Soooo.... sorry for not writing sooner, I blame it on being a pregnant air head. You wouldn't believe how many times I have thought about writing, although that is not quite the same is it. Pregnancy is going well and only in the last week am i actually feeling really big and waddly. No complaints though just my achy hips and legs in the mornings. I will be 36 weeks next weeek and so having my last scan to see if a cesarian is needed (due to a low lying placenta if I hadn't mentioned it). I am seeing your mum next week on the 20th for lunch and so will see if I can hook up to the web cam as it would be great to talk and you can see my big bump. (Not quite big enough for your dungarees!!!) Oh and the one excuse I do have for not writing in the last month is trouble with my email and now they have deleted me. I will let you know as soon as I get a new one. Your car is fine and I even washed it the other day. Rang around for renewal insurance quotes yesterday and it is

Comments:Hi I am very envious of your trip even though most of the time i dont know where you are - how about plotting it on a map with the dates you were there. i bumped into carole on the common she made me feel stupid as she said she sees where you are on google earth. if you put it on a map we can see how far(or little) you have been. have finally seen anthony and deborah. they seem very pleased with the house but i hate to tell you their building work is going well so i dont know how long they are intending staying. no problems with the rain and flooding thank goodness. mike and i are off to the amalfi coast next week for our belated summer holiday. saw katrina in the gym the other day - they are all well. we do miss you on the green. dont over do it. lol sally x

Comments:Good Morning Paul, Philippa and Oscar, I’ve just read your latest dispatch from Lisbon and I must say I am completely consumed with jealousy about your evenings spent on sandy beaches with a barbecue, drinks and good company – it’s sounds like absolute heaven to me. I can tell you it is fascinating reading the updates on your website with all the various adventures you guys have already experienced and you’ve only really just started the journey! Paul I trust you will raise a glass in Lisbon in memory of our last trip there. If you can find that great little marina near the main bridge then please grab a photo or two, as it would be good to see it again. I seem to recall our last visit included some great food plus more than a few glasses of the local vino – good times. Anyway, must get back to work now – you remember work don’t you? :-) Love to all.

Comments:Hiya Just having a quiet moment (don't tell the committee!) so thought I'd check up on you. You all seem to be having the best time ever and I'm sooooooooo envious. Just for the ignorant amongst us, how about a map with your route marked on it? Or is that a bit beyond your technical expertise?! We're all missing you here - although I've no doubt you've forgotten us already. If you come across a tall, dark handsome millionaire with a yacht (with a ladder!) let me know and I'll be straight down there! Viv

Comments:Thanks to everyone who's dropped us a line on the Guestbook. It's great to hear from you all and we look forward to reading the entries whenever we get an Internet connection. Matt- good to hear you're looking at getting a boat. Viv, Steve, Chris and Ivor - why don't you join him? It's great fun. I thoroughly recommend it. Beats work! John, you need to work on the rhymes. Thanks for the thought though! Anne and Jerry - best to you both. Please pass on our love to all the guys.Sally, hope you haven't flooded. Have you seen your new neighbours yet (they keep paying the rent so we're happy!)Alan, we hope to make the western Med by Sept. Don't know quite where yet but let's keep in touch. Maynard - nothing to say to you because you haven't written anything yet (but I know it's just a matter of time before you pluck p the guts to go public). Peter (Dom), when you sell up chop the Rangey in for something that floats -much more fun. Ferris - hope to see you down south soon. Lisa, my back's ho

Comments:Hi All, Great site and fantastic to hear all your news en-route. Enjoy - you're not missing much here in the UK! Very envious and looking for tht first boat purchase! (Put my name down on the Hamble River Mooring waiting list - 187 names ahead of me, which would normally take 187 years on average, but apparently 80% of the current berth holders are above the age of 80, so who knows!!) Take care all of you - Matt

Comments:Ahoy! Ship mates, I hope this email finds you in a happy place and a safe harbour. Was wondering how it was going so obtained your mysite address from Martin M. So *whereareyounow.com*? And where are you planning to go next? I'm planning to be around and about the Med from 25 Sep. Palma, Tunis (?), Civitavecchia, Genoa, St Raphael, Barcelona. Any chance of a catch up? BTW. If you find yourselves heading for the marina at Imperia, Italy, do let me know and I will provide you with a friend to connect with who has a berth there. It is quite something to be able to read the postings on this site, and hopefully Oscar you, young fellow, will tell us all a few tales about what your Dad is getting up to! Very best wishes, and Bon Voyage! Alan

Comments:Hi Paul and family, this is the first time I have logged in. Sorry to hear about Shaggy, glad he is ok now. I haven't figured out where you are other than it sounds a bit Spanish or Portuguese. Still hoping you may get to South of France (Bormes les Mimosas) when we are there, either week of August 6th or September 10-21. I will be out on a Dufour 9- 14 Sept between St Tropez and Nice so watch out. Mobile is +447740631423. Have fun! Peter

Comments:Hi Phillippa, thought about you this morning as I was looking in the mirror, why would that be? yes, my roots were coming through and you are on root to spain!! I thought I would look up how far you have got and am impressed with your very own web site.You are all very brave as Tony is redundant but I think he likes it that way!! and the thought of all the things you have to do just makes him feel seasick! I hope you are really enjoying the trip now and look forward to following your progress, I love the 'places to stay' recomendations . very best wishes to you

Comments:Hi - hope you're all well. Thanks once again for letting me share the start of your adventure. The trip from Plymouth to Santander was superb - I can now tick "Biscay" off my list of things to do. Bit of a reality check being back at work today - especially as it's raining outside. Paul - the search for Biggles has started (if anyone reading this is now a little confused - check back regularly and all will become clear ;-) Iain

Most upset that we didn't get to race - as I found the forse 6 particularly exciting (unfortunately nobody else agreed). I shall make a point of checking this page when things seem particularly grey and monotonous over here! Bon Voyage, God Speed etc etc Allister
