Constanta, 27 August

We are waiting for new crew member, Kevin, to arrive some time this afternoon. ETD from Constanta, tomorrow 11 am.

Preparing LelleBelle for the Black Sea. Scrubbing away the dirt collected from the canals and rivers the last three months. Checked the propeller and the hull for any strange bumps. Carl enjoying being in the water. Leslie scrub, scrub, scrubbing the deck in the hot sun.

And so Kevin has arrived all ready and eager to start the trip down the Black Sea coast. Kevin and Carl, friends since about 1982. Might they be getting older? Oh no, as childish as ever!

Kevin and LelleBelle. Last time Kevin saw LelleBelle was on land in Höllviken.

And so it is time to say goodbye to the Bamberg bike. We are leaving it with George in the marina together with the planks. Sad goodbye.
