This week on board:
*The passage back to St. Martin was rough. Everyone got sick but the captain.
*James caught a tuna. ( Doesn’t he look proud of himself.)
*We went through the bridge into stink lagoon. (As it’s affectionately known)
*We pulled our home out of the water with a crane and put it on wooden supports, on the hard. Crazy.
*One of said supports started to breach the hull. That’s a hole in our boat! It’s all fixed now but it was not fun to see.
*James worked very hard getting Ondine ready for the Atlantic crossing. I worked on the crossing menus. That’s 567 meals plus 756 snacks. Phew.
* We got to stay in hotel with wifi, a pool and a zoo!
* I brought my first pressure cooker. Now I just need to lean to use it. Luckly the fabulous Tanya (aka OumaMama) leant me her groovy books.
*Best of all, we got to catch up with boat loads of friends.

This week we got used to living without our old dog Clancy. Emmylou was been crazier than usual, but she is settling down now. I think she might like being an only dog.
I have quite a lot of work on climate change, which I am loving.
I got second prize in the intarsia knitting section at the Royal Easter Show.
Autumn is being very slow to arrive and I am wondering when it is going to be cold enough for me to wear that (second) prize winning jumper (sweater).
