Update From Triumph June 29 '06

It has been a while since I wrote. My trusty computer has been a major problem for several weeks. I could not recover my lost navigation program with all the excellent vector charts, but my back up program will get us to Turkey.
We are still in Greece, and are under sail on our way to Kithnos Island 42 nm away. It is in the Northern Cyclades. We were pinned down in Poros for five days with a "Meltemi" wind, blasting through at 25-30 mph. We worked on projects, including building a gangplank to go between our stern and the dock, installed a hot/cold water tap in the cockpit, got the water maker running, did some varnishing, and repaired the outboard motor again.

Poros was a good stop. Lots of tourist, ferries, shops, cafes, and friendly shop owners. We have about two weeks to go before our EU "Visa" expires and we need to be out of the EU. That is why we are making way for Turkey. More later, Dick
