After spending a cold wet winter in San Francisco, we are back to the Mediterranean. It feels so good to be back. After a little delay caused by the volcano in Iceland that grounded all flights into Europe for a week, we left San Francisco on April 24th and a grueling flight later, made it to England. I am still waiting for the transporters promised to us by Star Trek. Until then, I guess my lot is to be stuffed into economy class with the rest of the herd. We stayed a couple of nights on the banks of the Thames at Rob and Dave’s condo. What a luxury to have such a beautiful place to stay. We spent a day wandering through the Tate Modern and meandering through the streets crowded with people and history. I love London. The next day we jumped aboard our magic carpet to Istanbul and after a 9 hour layover, (yeah pretty much as horrible as it sounds) we flew the final leg of our trip to Dalaman.
Along with our prized possessions from the states, we were carrying 2 solar panels with us. I am excited about having solar on the boat. It will give us much more flexibility and independence when we anchor out. So now we are even greener, the latest buzz thing to be. But it was not without a lot of pain and suffering.
