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
