Wishing you a very merry Christmas 2009!

Don't expect a Christmas card from us this year! Instead may we wish you all a very happy Christmas and best wishes for 2010. We'll be in Devon catching up with family and friends until February, then it's back to Greece to prepare for next year's cruising. See you then!
