On arrival at Pythagorion anchorage there was an alien spaceship waiting for us.
Next morning we moved around to Samos Marina so Dave could have access to resonable wifi and electricity.
The boys arrived on the Thursday morning. As usual were bearing gifts and a few things requested by us. Dave had one change of clothes due to his luggage allowance being taken up by these and his work gear but his sacrifice was very much appreciated by us. However, I do think Iain could have given Dave a wee corner of his bag, lol
Unfortunately, Dave was still working so we had our first day in the marina just chilling and catching up with all their news.
We had a nice dinner in Daphne’s in Pythogorio the first night. The next day we sailed up to Posidonio, tacking all the way to give them a nice gentle sail and the opportunity to get a bit hands on if they wanted, which Iain did. Dave was still below deck working, poor soul.
We were due to meet up with Nicolas here so he could meet the boys and join in on Dave’s Birthday celebrations. We had dinner ashore in the taverna in Pythogorion, again along with copious amounts of alcohol. In fact, the night ended in a blur as usual. Next morning ………
Gordon took the boys ashore in the dinghy, but not before going for a swim getting into the dinghy, enough said…. not a pretty sight but one that just had to be documented.
The outward voyage
and the return.
Another one of these moments was the big reveal by Dave….. That must have been some size of budgie to cause that splash!
Next night we had aperitif’s on Nicolas boat and gave Dave his presents.
He got a lovely scarf from Nicolas which was very sweet of him and an anchor bracelet form us. I think the boys were quite taken by Nicolas boat, it’s quite a bit bigger than ours. We walked round to the taverna at Klima Bay for dinner. It’s a lovely setting and the meal was very nice, then back to Camira for nightcaps and more shenanigans.
Originally, we were going to sail back to Pythagorion for the boys to go to the airport but we decided just to have a lazy morning recovering and phoned a taxi from Posidonio. It’s always great to see the boys and sad to see them go.
