where did the light nights go....

Those who dare, dance...

Steamboat Rooster doing their thing.

It's been a great week with fantastic weather for late October/early November. This is apart from the gales we had for forty eight hours over the weekend, but not anywhere else on the island only Lefkas it seems. I have had to at last resort to wearing long trousers on a night though, if we are going out somewhere anyway.  It's turned a little chilly of an evening and of course it's now sunset at around 5:30 and so dark by six o'clock.  That is bad news because all of a sudden you realise that winter is just around the corner.  I do cheer myself up by remembering that back in blighty it'll dark much earlier than than this in fact from what I remember of it, on damp dismal days it never seemed to get much light at all.  We know how lucky we are and if things stay along the same lines as usual we'll still have a few more weeks of weather in the 20's during daylight hours.

Every gathering has it's exhibitionists. 

Most of our work is now complete on the boat just a few little winter jobs to do, and as November came then it was time for the pontoon party for all the united nations of people who stay here over the winter.  This year it was organised by Anne and Mike from Ruffles Spray.  It seemed to go off like clockwork and not only that, this year we had a special treat afterwards with a great performance from one of the islands bands, Steamboat Rooster in Porto Bar.  They were excellent, thanks to Vicky for facilitating this.  Although the bar was full it was outside for the dancers and the mosquito tolerant.
