Wind problems in more ways than one :-)

The weather until today has been quite beautiful, nice warm days and not bad in the evening too, but today it's blowing an absolute storm and heavy rain at times with it.  Never mind it gives me a reason not to do anything but mess about on the PC.  Sandra and I have just watched a fender sail past shortly followed by an oar out of an inflatable go by, just did a quick check to make sure neither of them was mine!

Earlier this week we have been servicing the windlass and had all the anchor chain and anchor out on the pontoon to mark up it's length so we know how much is out when we eventually get out and about.  Sandra gave everything a good scrubbing whilst it was out and we unblocked the drains in the chain locker as it was half full of water.

She has done really well actually as she has been unwell with a stomach bug since last Thursday, (which is the other way of the wind in the title this week) only this wind was dangerous and fluid in nature if you know what I mean.  The first full nights sleep we have had since was last night.  Anyway, I'm pleased and relieved to report that Sanny is back to being Sanny today but she'll keep taking the drugs until it's a certainty.

Tim at the halfway and Aussie owner Ian not bothering at all.

It was a glorious sunset, unfortunately I missed it!

Whilst we have been getting things ship shape on Lesanda, Ian across from us has been attempting to get his new radar installed on Rozinante 1 (Rozinante was the name of Don Quixote's horse).  Being an Aussie of a certain vintage he has elected to find a man who can to do the mast work for him, and thus enticed Tim and Joe to do the aerial work, only Tim has now come down with a bug of a similar nature to San's, oh well at least he can lubricate the mast to make his slide down faster.  Get well soon Tim.

The other night before this storm blow in we had the most spectacular sunset you ever have seen, unfortunately I did not have my phone with me at the time and when I got something to take a picture with the colour had all but gone from it, never mind you can see over the marina to Lefkas town instead of a sunset over water.  I suppose I could have edited it and made it all red and orange but that would have been cheating.  See ya next week.
