I think this picture shows well our usual situation here on our cruise – poor little Kittiwake squeezed between two much larger boats. It’s amazing how many large yachts there are in these guest harbours – there’s clearly no shortage of money around here.

But Kittiwake is proving herself a very fine boat – faster than other yachts her own size (sometimes putting much bigger yachts to shame), and very seaworthy when the winds get stronger and the waves larger.
