More of the wet stuff...

Our remade winter cover and sprayhood.

Reading room?
 Last Saturday we had the pleasure of entertaining Pete, from the Katoghi, for lunch while Alison was still in the UK.  Well a Dalton's special gyros actually, we'd just been served our meal when we got a call from Orkide Todd to say that they were en-route to the marina to finally give us back our altered winter cover.  We told her to go ahead and fit it whilst we finished lunch and then we hot footed it back across the town quay to the marina.  At last we have protection from the elements and also a cover that we can access and egress from the sides as well as being able to have the sprayhood up independently from the tent at the back.  All this is just as it should have been last year as we originally specified.  Never mind all is well that ends well.

Music room?
The cover couldn't have arrived a moment too soon as we are having pretty naff weather at the moment lots of rain and some strong winds to boot but this doesn't matter now as we sit out in the cockpit watching the world go by oblivious to the prevailing conditions.  The only thing is we can't decide whether it's a music room, reading room, lounge area, or just a boat with two reception rooms now.  What a dilemma!

Also on Saturday afternoon was the bi-annual boat jumble (treasure for trash, jumble sale etc.) It was well attended and more stalls than is normally the case, I think the decent weather on Saturday helped a great deal but at least some people got some benefit from it.

Despite the rain we are still managing some of our social activities, although Sandra has missed her "stretch & tone" and Zumba class today because of the rain.  I am managing to get a few guitar sessions in whilst she is absent, still not Clapton mind.

Oh well two weeks today and we shall be in Athens awaiting our flight on the Friday so not long now before we get to visit all the reprobates in the UK.
