So, what's the plan for the rest of the year. Basically, we'll be funding Easyjet !!! Apart from the three weeks in the summer, I've booked a four day trip for us in September, a weekend hop for me in November to take sails off etc and then something a little different.....New Years Eve in Albufeira. A wander around Google has revealled that it all kicks off with a massive party, live bands and fireworks on the beach. A sail on 1st Jan 2012 would be a real bonus and what a way to start the New Year. For now though, we're counting down the days to 22nd July.

Great to see Comino in the sun. We are stuck in windy France at the moment, but hope to be on our way down to Spain in August after a mini refit. So who knows, let's hope we can all finally get that beer together. In the meantime, enjoy your visits aboard, we will be following your progress. M & C xx

A FEW PICS OF COMINOClick a photo to enlarge and use side arrows to scroll through.
COMINO IS CURRENTLY HEREDID SOMEONE SAY SEAFOODOn our journey from Portugal to Greece we enjoyed amazing seafood almost everywhere we stopped. Finding the local fish market was always a priority because seafood was so plentiful and so reasonably priced. And, the displays were a feast for your eyes.
Locating a market sometimes meant pounding the pavements in searing heat, but if you kept your eyes peeled, you often came across a little clue. The pic below was a rather less than subtle advert for a fish market - it was eight feet tall.
Freshly cooked onboard, a plateful of giant prawns, baked in wine and garlic, washed down with a few glasses of local vino, was like heaven. Watching the sunset on the boat eating a meal like that was the epitome of "living the dream".
Now we're in Greece we've another favourite to savour. I'm talking about fried Calamari. It's usually good, but every now and then it's off-the-scale fantastic. At Natalie's Taverna on Kontokali Beach in Corfu, it was nothing short of epic.
We're based in Lefkas now and It's been a bit of a mission to find somewhere just as good. And we have. Rakias is a mere ten minute walk from the marina and this little fish market, with its very own taverna attached, is quite sensational.
Oh...and it's also worth mentioning that, on occasions, a bit of barbequed Octopus is on the menu at some of the tavernas we frequent. Can I resist....no. SUNSETS AND DRAMATIC SKIESNo filters, or any other monkey business, have been used to enhance these images.
