Well, it's just a quicky this week and no photo's 'cos I've not had the time to take any (or to be more honest they would just be a repeat of last weeks). That is because it's been all hands on deck to get Lesanda looking at her best before we set off into the wild blue yonder next week for Greek Easter. We have just about finished all the scheduled jobs we had set out to do now just the winter cockpit tent to be taken down and replaced with the bimini shade and the stainless steel to polish really.
The inflatable boat has been pumped up and cleaned to with an inch of it's life and is now floating happily beside the "mother ship". All the mosquito nets have been fitted to the windows but not early enough to stop Sanny being mauled by one as big as a rather large thing the other night. It got her five times on the hand, arm and ear, I just had to deal with the incessant moaning later so I got ear ache as well.
Tony, Liz, Sandra and I retrieved both our life rafts from Vournikas yesterday and stored them in Tony's house until we move on to new pastures next year. We won't need it in the southern Ionian as we have the dingy in tow all the time with us it's really there for passage making. Anyway I think that that was the last thing we had left up at Vournikas so I suppose that's the end of one era.
We've replaced the transom shower this morning, that was the one which was causing the flooding in the bilges a couple of months ago. Up to now this one seems to be behaving itself. I think that that's the last thing we are going to spend any money on this year, there are a few things which will needs to be done later in the season when we get pulled out but other than that it'll have to wait until next winter. As a whinging pensioner and a Yorkshire one at that, I think my wallet needs a long summer holiday.
Oh well as I said just a quicky, hopefully more to say next week.
