Hi, Great to see more photos. I especially like the T-shirt marks John!

Hi Kids,
Where are you now? I am having a great week in the Netherlands and reading the post below I now know who Austen is! Guess? Clue? Wednesday night sailing.

Lizzie - who is the uber-cool bearded guy that you seem to have picked up on your home page picture? I don't recognise it as John! Have great fun and we're all very jealous.....
Suzie
Hey,
Sounds like your having a ball, certainly beats the hum drum back in Ayr.
Lullah is having a ball inside the 'pink house' hiding the cat etc inside it and getting up to all sorts!
Enjoy the sailing!
Suzie, Jamie & LullahXXX

Looks wonderful - wish I could sail!
Andy
Sounds like you and the kids are having fun!
Congrats on the degree pass John boy. I trust this means you'll be able to get an almost honest job one day ;)

Great to see some more photos. I especially like the bouncing ones and it looks like a great bit of parking, I can see why you were so proud!

Buenos dios and greetings from Leiden (sort of mid-Holland, between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, near the North Sea). Ian was here last weekend and we attempted a really fun geocache, but the clues were off a bit. Your photos are great. I guess that there are still pirates, but only the very nicely dressed sort will be on your travels! By now, you've had some tapas, which I love -- so tasty! I've never been on a cat, so when your post mentioned 15 and 20 knots, I couldn't imagine going so fast! It must be a huge thrill to really get going in that boat. Good luck (buena suerte), and best wishes! Pamela (Ian's friend)

Your pic "Can't remember where", using Google Earth I think its 36 43 18N 003 11 34 W. The point just South of Cabo de Gata.

Lovely to see more Pics,
keep an eye on the patches on tank. Deisel may deteriorate the glue.
Re overheating if you lost a lot of fluid remember it is not plain water, requires a water anti corrosion mix the same stuff as car antifreeze.

We were thinking of you yesterday when we took a bumpy ride on the Saturn from Arran. Probably not anywhere near as bumpy as yours sounded!! I haven't a clue what all that sailing talk is but I also enjoyed reading it and it looks like it may have helped you get a good solution from Dad Douglas. When you get a chance, I'd love to see pics of the indoors of your sailing machine- I've never been inside a big boat like that before. We are glued to the screen waiting for more blogs so keep them coming. (We've even put in a request to be Bruce's friend on facebook too, to keep up with his adventures.) As for us, not much news here. Ewan is talking up a storm and has started putting two words together now e.g. Dougal outside and mummy tick-tock! He loves Ben (Ben is warming to him gradually) and calls him Bee. Love and kisses to all...xxx
