Arrived back onto Quicksilver and Chris has made sure the celebrations continue, bunting decorated the decks, flowers, chocolates and bubbles await along with a delicious meal, it is good to be home.

  My next treat was a visit to the Green Market in Santa Cruz, a special Chocolate Fest celebrating all things Cocoa from the local farmers cooperative, from coco butters, to jewellery from the husks, a cookery demonstration and chocolate tastings, a great morning with Mike and Katrina, Sue and Dag S/V Nordlys.
