10th September 2007 – Marseilles, France.
Since the Super Yacht Regatta in Palma we have been docked there doing maintenance work. The boat was hauled and painted as well as prop and thruster repairs. Back in the water the boat was tented and the whole decks recaulked – a daunting project that took 6 weeks. We also took care of both exterior and interior varnish, painted out the inside of the lazerette etc etc.
We sailed from Palma at midday on Sunday the 9th September after taking on 10,000litres of fuel (about 2,650 gallons). We had a good forecast and a relatively quiet trip across to Marseilles, arriving safe and sound at 1300 today. We are currently docked in the old port, awaiting the arrival of the guests and will then cruise the French and Italian Rivieras until the beginning of October.
We will return to Palma and then cross to Antigua about mid November.
