.: Welcome!
Thank you for looking in! It's holiday time and we
hope you are having a splendid time, wherever you
may be.
We are at anchor in the bay of Palma Nova, Mallorca,
watching thousands of holiday-makers enjoy the
blazing sun on the beaches and trying not to melt
away... |

.: Latest News
No news is good news, or so they say... This being
the summer recess for politicians of all hues, there is not,
at the moment, a vast amount to
report of a very recent nature but there was a fair
amount of correspondence with MEPs after the July
newsletter and before the recess...

.:
Hearing from MEPs around the UK
Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP,
Liberal Democrat for London, was kind enough to respond to our
e-mails, as were Erica Hope on behalf of
Dr. Caroline Lucas MEP,
Green Party for the South East Region;
Danny Langley on behalf of
Chris Davies MEP, Liberal
Democrat for North West England.
We also heard from
Camilla Bougrine on behalf of
Edward McMillan-Scott MEP,
Conservative for Yorkshire and Humber,
Chris Loudon on behalf of
Elspeth Attwooll MEP,
Liberal democrat for Scotland,
Giles Chichester MEP,
Conservative for South West England (and son of the great
sailor Sir Francis Chichester).
Graham Watson MEP,
Liberal Democrat for South West England and Gibraltar got in
touch, as did
Stuart Gulleford on behalf of
Jeffrey Titford MEP, UK
Independence Party for the Eastern Counties;
Robert Evans MEP, Labour
for London and
Henri Colens on behalf of
Timothy Kirkhope,MEP,
Conservative for Yorkshire and Humber.
A list of the MEPs contacted so far can be seen
here.
.: Writing to Cruiser's Websites
Unfortunately, summer is a
busy time for us in other spheres of our lives, so there has
been no spare time available lately for making contact with
many cruiser's websites but we have been receiving feedback
from various individuals around the Internet on the subject,
agreeing that the problem is spreading, and we found an
interesting
comment on a blog, too...
.: Volunteers
Marie Fabre de Balanzo, aboard
'Goha', and her husband have had to take a break from working on
the translation of the site into French and Spanish as they
have arrived in North Africa and will be busy for some time.
If anyone else can help, we'd be very grateful to hear from
them.
.: New Members
Welcome to new members around the world and especially to the
gentleman who has asked to remain anonymous but who was kind
enough to let us know that he had e-mailed all his cruising
friends and suggested they visit the website and participate.
That's the spirit!
Well, that's it for this month - we look forwards to telling
you all our latest news in September. Hope you're still enjoying the
summer!
