Page under construction Things change, and so does this site! The next few weeks things might look a bit funky.
As you have noticed we are back in Switzerland for the Winter. Lily is in Lavrion Greece on the hard. This spring we plan to continue our sailing adventures in the Med.
Meanwhile we are enjoying domestic life and going on with our projects.
