We got most of our jobs done at home and more importantly caught up with some of our family and friends during February. Then the lure of a cheap flight and good weather won - £19 each, all in, Manchester to Alicante - and we are back on the boat for about a month - another cheap flight back at the beginning of April.

| Lovely weather back home! |

The evening skies are fabulous at the moment and the weather is starting to settle and warm.

| Nice sunsets |
We took the boat out to give the engine a run and anchored off a beach just east of Alicante town so that Carole could go for swim - mad fool that she is - the water temperature was showing 13.8C, way, way too cold for me! I need at least another 5, preferably 10, degrees on that.

This is my idea of heaven |

Not expecting to do much sailing but hoping to meet up with various boaty friends and have a bit of a road trip into the mountains. Then on into France to see Colin and Ruth who have bought a place near Quillan. Dave and Mari are coming out to see us at the end of March as well.
In between times we’ve got a load of “little” jobs to do, some repairs, some upgrades on the boat to keep us busy - there really is no such thing as a little job on a boat, everything takes at least twice as long as you think.
