Helen and William Well done. Great to hear that you got through without incident. We are in the UK back at work untill November. The information you have provided will be very helpful when we follow in your wake next year.

John and Selma Sat on the edge of my seat reading, seems so very far away from our every day life at the moment. John is planning his next big sail, up to Jan Mayen in the Arctic and onto Greenland! Take care and speak soon, love the Halsalls
Henk Wisker SV. Haerlem crossing the Atlantic was easier, and better behaved Co! Long live the ARC 2008......or?
Ian Hi Gordon and Anne, Been a while since I have checked out your site. Sounds like a bit of an adventure across the gulf near Somalia. Good luck for the rest. All is getting rather domesticated back here in Oz...really need to sail again.. Cheers Ian V
Elaine Ah! Just found this blog - looking forward to getting stuck into a trip round the world through your adventures! Back to the present - tonight is your first night in Ari for the summer season 2013. Sogni d'oro. See you there in 6 weeks!

Marc Azada Phuket, Thailand is a magnificent place. Thanks for sharing the details of your visit to this place. I enjoyed reading it. I think I might visit Phuket, Thailand one of these days because of your article. Good Job!
re: Phuket, Thailand
Carole Anderson Hi Gordon and Anne, great to have met you on the 'Anstruther trip'. Not quite as exciting as some of the experiences you have had on your round the world trip. Now I have met you the 'adventures' I am reading about take on a new meaning.

frances To Gordon and Anne, a poem.... but not up to Anne's standard! It's been an age since last we met we're glad you're home and and now are set to be at home for a little while till off to Italy to choose a tile or two for the farmhouse we'd love to visit and we'll expect it to be finished!!!! During the time that you've been at sea lots has been happening to Duncan and me.. Rob got married and now has a son Kirsty too making me a grandmum! Duncan's turned 60 and did it with flair perhaps like Gordon he should grow his hair!! The volcanic ash nearly ruined our hols stranding Duncan in India designing his balls... FOOTBALLS of course but we've all heard the jokes but just for now I say, 'That's all folks'!! We'll see you soon to celebrate that you're home safe n sound n that's really GREAT!

Marie and Ted, Ashburton, NZ You both have had/are having a wonderful time and you will never forget it all, but probably and hopefully remember all the good times, bad ones weren't so bad? and you will be different people now to go home and appreciate everything twice as much especially good showers and baths and a proper cup of tea!!! I think you two are just marvellous! Love and blessings to you both, Ted and Marie :)

re: Fiskardo, Greece
pauline Oh Anne, what a great poem!! It really touched me and made me think of the opportunities or risks we don't take because of fear!! And of course reminded me of the things we do do for the ones we love... Pauline Reid, Montreal, Quebec Canada
re: Fiskardo, Greece
Pauline Hi Anne and Gordon, my friend just started a solo kayaking trip on the Richelieu River in Quebec to Lake Champlain in New York and Vermont States in the U.S. and I thought I wonder how my cousins are doing on your sailing adventure. I had not checked in for a while. Wow!! What great stuff you wrote and I love the photos. Egypt is one of the places I would love to visit soon. Last year my friend and I went to Spain and Morocco and the souks and markets in Cairo reminded me so much of Morocco. Well it seems you guys are heading back to Scotland. You both look great and oh, what memories you have!! Hope to hear from you again soon. Pauline xx
