Current Location: Bari, ItalyCurrent Position: 41 7.62 N 016 52.01 E Click to view map.We just arrived in Bari, Italy where it is T-shirt weather!

We had a great time in Canada and England, (including a fantastic canal boat trip through the Llangollen Canal in North Wales) – plus of course getting married at the last minute – and want to thank everyone for putting up with us. But it is good to be back in Italy and we are looking forward to a good year of cruising. Perhaps you will come and join us for some of it? We will put up some photos soon…
