In 2017 we made our way on Elemiah to Valencia Spain and left her there for the winter.

However, in June of 2017 Glenda went back into arrhythmia. Her rhythm medicine was no longer working.  We are very fortunate to have a very good cardiologist Dr. Diaz Infante.  After two cardioversions he finally performed a very tricky procedure of going into Glenda’s heart and cutting some electrical circuits.  The tricky bit was going into the heart with a mechanical valve.  Touch the valve and the problems would substantially escalate!  All is now well.

We were therefore delayed in getting back to Elemiah whilst Glenda recovered.

Finally, we cast off and went to Ibiza with Daniela and Peter and then made our way back to Puerto Sherry in the Bay of Cadiz.  Peter went as far as Gibraltar before he had to fly home to start a job.

Manolo from Sevilla joined us and we made it the rest of the way.

This is a very brief summary so as not to bore you all.

So now we are in the midst of preparing Elemiah to cross the Atlantic this coming December.

We will from now document all the preparations for the journey.

With great sadness our home in England sold at the end of February 2018.  My parents bought the house in 1943

We have been very slow in posting our blog but you all probably needed a break!!
