25th/26th September.
 
Well what a down pour,when it rains in Greece it certainly rains plus side is that the boat gets a good wash down.When the weather gets a bit cold we become very English making steamed treacle pudding and custard to warm the "cockles" . We invited 'Wild One "to partake" in this naughty episode and they had the devil of a job to return to their boat later in the day as the wind picked up quite suddenly and remained constant with very poor viz.Needless to say we
stayed on the boat all day as the rain and wind were relentless and quite a few boats were dragging their anchors so needed to be on the ball for that!!
We decided that it would be a good idea once the rain abated to take another trek up the mountain to view the waterfall  post rainfall!
 
27th September
 Trinitys Birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRINITY!
Rang her early in the morning to be the first to greet her,still in bed the lazy devil seems that she has got the day off from her job.
  After the rain.
 
More rain has been forecast for the next few days but we have decided that it is not going to stop us from venturing off the boat as the anchorage is quite safe and we feel at ease leaving her here,many boats actually over winter here on the  "hook"! Will go off kayaking with "Wild one"tomorrow before we depart for Ithaca the legendary Island home of Odysseus,according to Homer.
 
28th
Got absolutely drenched from our session in the Kayaks but it was great fun and we were the only ones in the water! I  wonder why? Afterwards walking back to our boats
looking like a group of refugees in various states of undress and covered in towels, we felt quite good and uplifted despite the curious looks we got from the locals.
Rain seems to be highly on the menu but will be a little lighter so will make passage tomorrow to Ithaca
