Date	June 30 2006	Condor has returned to Corfu after several hours at sea. There was a problem with an oil seal on the engine and although a sailing vessel, the engine is required when conditions require as well as when entering or leaving port. There are not difficulties at Corfu for obtaining a replacement seal and this can be fitted during the next few days. When all is repaired they will set sail once again for Malta as planned.
