Under Sail at Last!

Eventually the long awaited moment came round, I took up my position at the tiller leaving my minders to do the heavy work of weighing anchor) and off we went.


It's quite a serious moment, guiding your craft from its mooring for the first time, and you can see from my expression that I was concentrating hard. You'll also notice that due to my concentration I had failed to notice that I was dipping my paw into my mug of tea! Not a problem when sailing though, as there's no shortage of water for a clean up.

Doesn't a Jaguar look great sailing! I popped my head up through the forward hatch to take this picture of us and some of my very good friends under sail.


At the end of a day's wonderful sailing, with some sunbathing and swimming mixed in, there is always a new harbour to arrive at and a new town to explore. As you come into harbour it is great to see the welcoming faces of our lead crew and to have them guide you into place and tie you up. Here they are in a picture I took of them seeing in the boat next to us.


I'll introduce them properly tomorrow as they play such an important role in ensuring a great flotilla experience.

Lots of love, Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx

The Boys are Back in Town (again)

Dear friends,

George, Yorkie and I (Eddie) are safely back from a most fantastic adventure. We really didn't want to come home, although now we are home, we have to admit it is good to see all our bear friends again and to down a pint (or two) of Wherry while regaling stories of our travels.

So where have we been and what have we been doing? George & Yorkie provide the clue to location with our first picture.


If the Mediterranean sunshine doesn't give it away, the Greek flag should. We have spent the last fortnight roaming the islands of the Ionian sea.

The bear flag departure photo and the fact that I, the chief Bears Unlimited boating bear, was going, should have provided the clue to our mode of transport. In case it didn't, here's a picture of me with my latest pride and joy and our home for the last fortnight,'Spetses'.


Spetses, as you can see if a very fine craft which is hardly surprising as she is a member of the Sailing Holidays, Whole Ionian, Jaguar flotilla and there is no finer flotilla afloat. So it's three cheers from us for Sailing Holidays and our lead crew of Jono, Holly & Stu (they'll be properly introduced soon).

Join me again tomorrow as I've so much to tell you.

Lots of love, Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx
