Out of the water...

 

Izola finally out for her repairs.

It's been another industrious week at the Tree House this week, we have now got all all the garden looking at it's best and moved a few plants around to fill in some of the more open spaces.  I've also had the strimmer running flat out clearing the road side near the drive to stop all the weed seedlings escaping and causing problems later.


We have arranged to spend Easter weekend in Corfu and combining that with a visit to the boat brokers at Gouvia marina.  There is a boat there which takes our fancy so watch this space you never know we may too be afloat on our own boat soon!

Wonder who left the outboard in the water!

This morning we have finally got Izola out of the water so that the repairs to her can be started.  If you remember she was damaged during the "tornado" which whipped through Vlicho bay laid another boat over her crunching the staunchions into the top of her roof.  Unfortunately she has been waiting now for weeks to get out.  

Tony inspecting her after her wash down.

When we went to move her she seemed to be going very slowly full throttle and hardly moving, Tony suggested that it was because of the weed build up on the prop as the outboard had been left in the water.  I didn't expect it to be quite as bad as that though.  Pressure washing shifted it all fine in the end.
