Sunsail take over the world...

Blocking off my view of the town

and as far as the eye can see.

 Sunsail and their sister company Moorings,  have been moving their yachts and catamarans onto our former pontoon (H pontoon) all this week and look like they have about completed it now.   I think there were going to be somewhere in the order of a hundred boats in total but we've not bothered counting them.  I have to admit they have done everything with the precision of a military manoeuvre and as I write this I can't see hardly any red sails left so it's not just been about relocating they are starting to get them ready for leaving for the winter.  Although in the wind today it looks like some could be moored a little tighter as they are swinging quite a distance.

The only real downside for us is instead of the open view we used to have over the town in winter is now obscured, nay, obliterated!  On the upside though we are very sheltered where we currently are (G Pontoon) and much nearer the main gate for getting out and about, as the small pedestrian gate we use in the summer has now been locked for the next five or six months for security reasons.

It's raining and the canvas looks great.

I had a look at the weather forecast earlier this week and it looked quite wet and windy by the end.  With this in mind we decided to get on and weather proof the winter cockpit awning.  Although it wasn't leaking or anything it's always a good idea to protect the canvas against the ravages of weather and UV light.  In the UK we bought a large can of Fabsil for this purpose and rather than leave it in the can thought it would be of more use on the canvas.

Kato Rahoula, good food, great company.

You can get this type of canvas treatment out here in Greece but it's very expensive and I would rather use Fabsil which we have used for many years on caravan awnings and tents with no problems what-so-ever, and it's much cheaper in the UK.

Ray and Sandra smile for the camera but not mine!

We had arranged to eat out with Ray and Linda last night at Nidri at Kato Rahoula (roughly, Bottom of the Hill).  We must say we are most impressed with this place and have been several times now and it's always good.  Ray and Linda were not the only people we met there though as Paul and Sue where already sat at their table when we arrived and then several more people we knew also turned up.  It's nice to see that somewhere not quite on the beaten track can still attract a customer base in these hard times and on a wet and windy night in November also.

The presentation here is top class it's the chip tower that does it.

 Presentation is not something that you really associate with Greeks and food but this place really does make an effort to make it's food look as good as it tastes which is a refreshing change.  I hope they get many more new customers as they deserve to succeed.
