Part 2 - Chapter 6

"Then one bright day, we decided to take advantage of the improved weather,

and do some of the necessary remedial work on Kantara's paintwork."

"...in the morning, misty and promising, we headed up to the nearest winding hole

about three miles away, turned and came back to another spot ideal for the task."

"We were still working as the sun went down, throwing amazing light on

the autumnal trees opposite the sunset, and creating a misty spectacle in the west. "

"We felt that the paintwork was now winter-proofed, though far from pretty.

Kantara looked sad. We felt sad."

between the town of Kington in Herefordshire and the village of Gladestry in Powys.

"Then came the day we'd been waiting for. The wind was negligible,

the sky was blue and cloudless..."

" It was a glorious trip, cold, but a very enjoyable way to conclude the year's Kantara experience."
