Preparations complete – Final Post 2020-21.

I have visited the Port Police to retrieve the boat documents that will allow us to set forth sailing, and thanks to information from our English friends Paul & Lorraine back in the UK it’s now seems we will not actually need a transit log, but that has yet to distil down to the local authorities so I imagine still some fun and games ahead.

I am about to contact my GP back home to see if there is anything she can do to log my 2^nd Greek jab on the UK system so that I can get the mobile app proving I have had both, it’s a long shot but worth a try. Travelling between islands will require this or taking a test each time, which would be a complete pain .

Nicolas set off in recently so we had a few last suppers He was keen to show us BBQ duck, a first for us but it was very good.

A lunch at Mytilini, a great find near the house but only open at the week ends just now

and a final meet up at Limonias at the western end of the island. He had sailed there on his first outing and we had taken the car.

This year he has a lot of “GM’s” coming out , which, in French, means paying guests, well half guests , friends of friends – and June, July and August is bunged for him , and his sister will be out in September. No doubt our paths will cross at some point as we are sailing roughly the same areas. September may well see us meeting up to visit Chios but everything is fluid and we are hoping Diane can come out for a spell as well so the plan is no plan.

We have now paid our final marina fees, we have the house & the car until the 3^rd of June, when Louise gets her 1^st jab and then we are off for 3 weeks until we have to return to Samos for her 2^nd one. After that we are truly free until November.

Ready to go (on a diet !)

So this, (You will all be glad to know, especially Fiona!) is the last blog 0f season 2020-21.

Here’s to a safe and more normal year for all of us next year.

Cheers for now G&L xx
