Tuesday 24 April to Thursday 26 April
On Tuesday we left Malta after a week of work and other necessary
things. It was such a relief to board the ferry and know that the car is away.
Visitors are only permitted to bring a car for six months, and it is an island
so only one ferry comes from Sicily and there is no other way out.
The crossing was really smooth and we were driving on empty
roads before 9 am along the coast for the 32 km to Marina di Ragusa. We had
only been away for one week but it felt so good to be back and having no
specific commitments for the first time in ages except to prepare the boat for
our planned summer cruise to Greece.
On Wednesday I had planned to take the outboard motor to the
boatyard, but heard on the Ragusa Live-aboard cruisers morning radio net that
it was a public holiday – Liberation Day, so it was time to do other jobs and
to start to relax and unwind, so a siesta was much enjoyed. Before sunset we
joined Andrea and Jennifer, Maltese friends aboard their 50’ yacht for the
evening.
Thursday started calm and with help from Elmer, who moors
his boat in Qawra, the motor was put into the dinghy and I paddled it across to
the yard.
Anita is frustrated by the disorder inside the boat. One step at a time we address it.
