Plenty of movement in the harbour with boats coming and going. Crazy Dreams has arrived so our 3rd meeting this summer and an excuse for Caryn to have some drinks with them and to eat out.
Caryn took the bus into Mandraki to post a letter to Alex with all the details of getting to the harbour from the harbour and then did some shopping in preparation for Svein’s return.
Ginny arrived today in time for the Sybaris celebration. The wind has started picking up so put out an extra rope. Our dinghy was borrowed by a neighbour to help a third boat that was in trouble as he had dragged. Caryn was busy getting the boat ready for Svein’s return tomorrow.
Svein was collected from the ferry by Mike (Eagle’s Nest) and as he arrived on the quay Sybaris also arrived. Svein was very tired from a 30 hour journey but many were awaiting to see him and give him a drink. After a liquid lunch on Crazy Dreams we both retired to have a snooze before meeting up for a farewell dinner.
Crazy Dreams has moved on and today is the day for the birthday celebrations. Caryn made an orange cheesecake for coffee on board Sybaris. The celebration started with a coffee and cake session on Sybaris and then drinks to end the evening with a delicious diner at Aphrodite.
Ginny and Sybaris have moved on but we are expecting Miss Cat who will get some birthday cake. Went to the beach with Svein for a reviving swim.
Again a trip to the beach as it will be a few days before we can get there again with the winds that are predicted. Charisma arrived late and moored beside us.
The wind has steadily picked up during the day and was reading 30+ by mid afternoon with the prospect of it rising later in the evening as the peak was forecast at 3am. We are safely moored and not feeling it too much as it is NW. A few new boats have turned up and they must have had a hairy sail. After 24 hours the wind is still blowing and the sea is sometimes coming over the digue. A charter boat left has they were due to return their charter boat. We are very glad that we no longer have the deadline problem and can just wait out the wind before moving on.
