We have now moved to another new web server and are hoping that this will solve the problems we've been having. Only time will tell, I'm afraid.

We apologize for the long period of outage today.

Wed September 2 we were back on CG in Riva di Traiano just in time to be launched before the boatyard shut.We filled up with diesel 1.20€/litre before going to the allocated berth. The bow thruster wouldn't work so we had electricians in the next day. We have a long fin & skeg and the bow thruster is really useful when berthing stern- to in tight situations.

"Counter Girl" had spent the winter afloat in Ottiolu and was fine when we arrived on 24 April. We put her back together and changed all the rubber bits in the Lavac loo. We left 1 May to anchor in the nearby Brandinchi bay. Using the dinghy we cleaned the fouled starboard side of the hull - the sunny side over-winter!

We flew to Gibraltar on April 22 and returned to "Counter Girl" in Ceuta. There had been a very bad storm on December 21 and CG had ripped fairleads and broken stanchions which we had to cobble together before we could leave.

After a few glitches, the transfer to the new server has been completed. There was a problem with character sets caused by the transition between database servers and I've had to revert to Sunday evening's state of the database. We are in the process of restoring the updates that have been made since then.
