Live aboard at last...

Setting off from Vlicho.
 We finally moved Lesanda from Vlicho to Lefkas marina on Sunday.  Sanny piloted all the way except for a little time when she was making coffee for Tony and I, you have to get your women trained properly guys!!
En-route.

 The water cut up quite choppy around the bottom of Meganissi but that wasn't a problem for her she just carried on brewing up regardless, it must bode well.
On board with Sanny doing the honours.

First cuppa in the new location.
Settleing in before the weather changes.

The weather can do what it wants now!





When we were entering the channel between Lefkas and the mainland Sandra looked at the channel markers and said "what are these malarkies down the side of the channel".  I wondered for a minute if she thought it was a slalom course but at least she kept the deep water.

On entering the marina we called up the tower to let them know we were coming in and Sandra reversed the boat right down the fairway right along to where we were going to moor at the beginning of G pontoon and with a little throttle control help from Tony right onto our mooring first time with no real problems.


Before leaving on Sunday morning we had had (another) final fitting of the cockpit tent so we were not going to have our outside room when we got to Lefkas.  We really could have done with it as Monday and Tuesday the weather was horrid with fairly persistent rain.  However, things picked up on Wednesday and Horatio Todd and his merry band of workers turned up to fit Lesanda winter ball gown.


Snug as a bug...
There are a couple of things need altering or adding but they can wait.  We are delighted with it and can now happily sit in the cockpit and watch the world go by without the night air causing us problems.  You have to be careful when you get to our age.

Sorry about the presentation this week but I've done it in a hurry as my PC has been giving me grief after installing a WiFi aerial and the software screwed the machine up twice, so I guess I'm not having an Alfa antenna.  Good job I borrowed one first :-)

Next week less boats as I'm sure it's boring everyone to death.
