Its just as well we like it here as when we tried
to leave yesterday we found the windlass to be completely seized. The motor
started to smoke and then gave up the ghost completely. We eventually had a
visit from an engineer organised by Gloria our contact here at the Marina. This
man (Bill) took the whole thing off and back to his work shop, when he
returned he showed us a very burnt out motor. Our decision now is whether to
replace the windlass here or wait until the winter and manage without one for
the next six weeks. Watch this space.
Meanwhile here are some shots of Samos
 Taken on the north coast near Karlovassi - a
popular windsurfing beach in the background.
 Lunch stop in the mountains - Manolates where the
views to the north were spectacular.
 The remains of the Temple to Hera the column is
half its original size and there were
20 or so in the temple - dates from the 6 century
BC.
