Jan 21, 2006 - Madame Cholet her hand maiden and the other servants.

Hello all, Well, did the title whet your appetite for a good read? The Croatian Cruise - January 2006 An early morning flight from Edinburgh, via Frankfurt, found us at Split airport on a chilly January afternoon - but at least it was not raining - yet. Crete has some high mountains with snow on them!! Both weather forecasts we receive give good conditions for the 400 mile passage to Port Said - Southwesterly wind of force 4 and clear skies. ... However, as always it passes and we manage to get back on a more or less direct course for Port Said. ... And on Sat 21st - the sun shines and we have to motor along in shorts and teeshirt weather - indeed some brave souls go topless!! (that does not include Carolyn!!) But as the sun goes down it gets really chilly again and it's back to full weather gear for the long motor along the coast to the breakwater at the entrance to the canal.Hello all, Well, did the title whet your appetite for a good read?
