David and Cathy on Charlie in Greece

Now, good old David Evans sailed on Charlie from the coast of France at Port la Nouvelle and got off board in Athens after a great month at sea. David started his sea career as a ship's cook and promised us "never to eat a snack while he was on board." He is a great navigator and when we left France for Corsica, I had neglected (stupid skipper) to buy a marine chart for the waters there. In fact, I never expected to go to Corsica, but we left France with not enough food to make a single long run to Malta. So, with a Michelen road map(no kidding) David negotiated Charlie to the proper harbor. "Just around that next headland" he would say as we passed several headlands. We got there with no problems, except stupidity, and arrived just as the local community was celebrating the FISHERMAN'S FESTIVAL with lots of wine and mussels and general nonsense, including the most amazing dancing I've ever seen.
Cathy, David's wife, didn't go on that trip, but did come with him to Greece for a vacation on Charlie.
