Blogging isn't easy when you're sailing ;)

Venice - just as wonderful as I remember her from 1970!

The last post was almost a month ago......wow, I can't believe that I haven't blogged on and on about Venice and the cruising in Croatia....and the Ionian Regatta...and now we're at anchor in Grand Harbour, Siracusa, Sicily enjoying the cool breezes and camaraderie of other OCC long time cruisers!!

So where to begin???  For those of you who don't have a Facebook page, there are lots of photos on "Taking You Sailing", please join and invite me to be your friend.  I have two pages, Judy Howison and Taking You Sailing which are pretty well updated, providing I can get a good internet connection.  My trusty Canon G8 had lens failure in the Kornati Islands and I had to wait until Venice to purchase a new waterproof camera.  Will try to get the Canon fixed when we visit a large city...maybe Malta will have a Canon repair facility.

Wonderful birthday at a Musica a Palazzo concert in Venice....water taxi from Marina San Giorgio where we spent three nights!
