AFRICA!!!!

We made it! Eidos is moored safely in Yasmine Hammamet marina and we've been doing some inland travel by taxi which is the safest and most practical way to travel.

Fishing is great in Tunisia

Yes, that's exactly where we are! Tunisia - about 100 miles south of Sicily and a world away. Talk about culture shock. Great sail across strait of Sicily with 15 knots of wind on the beam and nearly flat seas. Lots of traffic though - all those big ships heading for either Gibraltar or Suez.

Tomorrow we hope to do a bit of land touring and Eidos is getting put away for the winter. Time to think about visiting family and friends back home and catching up on life in Canada. Perhaps I'll finally be able to catch up here too!

Sorry if I haven't responded to your emails yet - Internet access is very sporadic and unreliable. I wrote a page here yesterday and then it didn't load. Talk about frustrating! Hope it works today. Fingers crossed.
