Well as usual I am behind with the blog. However I have a whole raft of excuses..... we messed about most of  August, having a week in Finistere where it varied between misty, rain and then sun.  However, we visited some places we had never been to before which made it interesting.  Home for washing etc.  then off to the Loire for a week or so.  This time it was too hot so we spent most of the time looking for shade and not getting out and about.  Hence no photos.  When we got back, it was still too hot.  Just on 40 degrees, so with a bit of cycling, nothing happened.  And here we are back on the Island and have been rushing around ever since.
Bloto was out for a week while Perry worked on the rudder, mast, bottom cleaning and other bits and bobs.  Then back in to discover engine problems.  Thanks fully not as dramatic as we thought, and was easily fixed.  Limited sailing so far as it is now quite gusty - typical after such nice weather.
I, meantime, took Day Skipper Theory course at Girls for Sail, and passed.  Booked in for practical at the end of January.  We have also visited Southampton Boat Show, where we spent a fortune and met up with chums.
I have a new laptop, and hopefully will bring it with us on forthcoming trips, and when linked into wifi should managed to keep this blog a little more up to date.
